An idea I have had for years, maybe decades now, that I've never actually gotten around to doing is setting up a Mac as a webserver to use for recipes (among other in-house things) where you'd have the server where ever and then you'd have a Mac in or near the kitchen where you could pull up...

Most of the computers we discuss on these forums aren't technically useful anymore but we still use and enjoy them.

The G5 Xserve models are noisy. I'm not sure about the Intel ones. Haven't tried replacing the hard drives in mine. I bought a couple extra drive trays a few years back, but haven't used them yet. They seem to have an odd connector inside, so I don't know if they are missing something or if...

Or "Best Offer." You never know . . .

Of course not. That's my earliest working physical Mac model. ;)

If I had more free time at the moment, that would be an incentive to finish assembling my 128k Mac.

I guess that was from before the classic Mac's legendary "ease of use" kicked in. I was able to get it to run in my version of Mini vMac. I'm not sure what Mac mine is configured to emulate, but it boots from the "MacStuff 2 2/85" disk image okay. And Font Editor launches and runs. I tried...

Cool. I've seen your posts on TypeDrawers but I don't think we ever interacted there, mostly because I don't post there that often. That would be awesome. And that kind of work needs to be preserved for people to appreciate how it was done.

You know, I've seen the font resource show up when I've opened things in ResEdit, but I don't think I ever thought to try to edit a bitmap font in it. Not that I remember anyway. But, I think I had a copy of Fontographer before I ever used ResEdit, so I probably would have never bothered...

Are you saying ResEdit has some font editing capabilities I've overlooked all these years? Could it be used to create fonts or just edit? Wait . . . Are you the Mark Simonson? Of Changeling Neo and Proxima Nova?

Is that a chihuahua in the frame?

Thanks. Maybe I knew that too back in the day.

THANK YOU! I had obviously forgotten that. Worked for what I needed, aside from cursing my teenage self for stuffing a bunch of code on the one line that was otherwise the easiest to edit to do what I needed.

Follow-up dumb question . . . Can I load a program into memory, and then edit a specific line of the program (and then run it) without saving to disk? (I don't know if it can save to the virtual disk but I don't need to save it anyway.) If so, how? I hate that I don't even remember any of...

Okay, first, I am trying this in the Virtual ][ emulator and not on an actual Apple IIe. But, I think it should function pretty much the same. I have a program on a (virtual) diskette. I can use "LOAD filename" to load the program into memory and then "LIST" will show the program. But, it...
