Inside Macintosh Vol. I-V + X-Ref & ResEdit; Looseleaf Ed.

[olePigeon]

Man, what a score. I grabbed this for $10 on my way up to a computer rummage. It's the 3-ring binder edition of Inside Macintosh volumes I through V plus the X-Reference and ResEdit expansion. The two binders even have the original Apple packing slips and receipts! (there's an apology that they were out of stock of the free repair tools.)

Did a quick Google and apparently volumes IV, V, and the complete X-Ref haven't been scanned to PDF? Maybe I'll do that next week. I have a big Xerox WorkCentre Pro at work that I had used to scan the Kinetics manual. It automatically OCRs and Indexes the PDfs as it scans.

Dang yo.

Would love those in .pdf.

Awesome find, and auto-OCR'ed PDFs of those would be badass!

Also cool to see an old HL name on here. I used to go by "Necromancer" on there but you prolly won't remember me (altho I recognize your name right away). Either way, HL guy here since '97

Well, I get confused with oleBuzzard a lot. My handle is a parody of his, I changed it from Chuckles to olePigeon because someone on 2600 said my old handle didn't sound like a hacker name. oleBuzzard wrote a bunch of cracking tutorials and is internet famous. But, yeah, I hung around on Hotline a lot back in the day. I helped moderate Freak's Macintosh Archives and 2600, and ran my own server, Chuckles' Tavern (I still have all the files somewhere on a zip disk.) I found it funny that I knew dittily squat about cracking and hacking, but somehow wiggled my way into moderation.
