Thanks for the feedback. I feel just from these descriptions that I’ve lived the A/UX experience vicariously, so I guess there’s no reason to install it, unless I decide I want to waste several hours to be able to say, “well that’s neat.”
Thanks.
I was thinking of giving A/UX a go on my SE/30, but I wonder if, beyond the fun of installing new software, there is any reason to use A/UX? Is there anything cool to try? I'm proficient in modern-day *nixes for hosting web servers, etc, but what can you do with Apple's offereing?
Challenge accepted! I guess the first order of business is to upgrade the VRAM and then I'll see about the extra resolutions. Thanks for the tip. It might be a few weeks before I find the time to tinker but I will try to post back.
I know that there are some ways to bump the Color Classic's resoultion to VGA (640x480), but can other all-in-one macs, my LC/Performa 550, for example, be similarly bumped up using a soldering iron from 640-480 to 800x600? With a little extra video memory, of course.
I really like my old 550...
Jupo I'm really glad the film had the impact of getting you to sign up for BTM. Thanks for letting us know you liked the film, enjoy the OMP! I still remember getting one second hand in the late '90s, at that time it really felt like something futuristic.
Not yet, I have them for English but they are machine transcribed, which means I have to finish going through all of them to fix the text. If I have some time this week I will try to finish them. Thanks for the reminder.
Nice to have the support.
We’ve set up our new store, if anyone is interested in having a shirt. It’s at store.moosefuel.media
It’s not widely advertised just yet since we want to gradually roll it out, and if you like you can use the discount coupon code “68kmla” to get $5 off.
For now we...
It's amazing how many people, like myself, couldn't afford newtons when they were released, but wanted one so much that it was still a thrill to get one later, obsolete or not.
Yes dibenga is correct, it's a big Linux-based e-reader with a nice e-ink display running the Einstein emulator (a Newton 2.0 emulator developed primarily by Paul Guyot). It was slow on that particular device, but it shows what could be done. Of course, you get none of the charm of Apple's 90s...
No, the campaign portion of the project is finished, but we are actively producing the film. You can follow it here: newtfilm.com
We didn't meet the funding goal completely but I still decided to make the film to the best of our budget.
Hi all,
I am in video production and also a fan of almost all things Apple, I have put together a crowdfunding campaign to make a film about Newton and the people who still use it.
Almost everyone who owned one has really great feelings about it, I want to make a film about Newton and the...
