For me, it's having a single file server that can host files for all my Macs. Theoretically, it could also proxy print to my laser printer, but I always just print to PDF (or pict) on my Macs and send to a modern one for printing anyway, so the PAP printing is just a "yes, I could do that if I...

Could be bad RAM, could be a system extension issue -- does the issue go away if you boot 7.1 with shift held down? I had no issues playing Carmen USA v1.1 on my Plus back in the day (same for Carmen World), so it's definitely not an architecture issue. I think I may have played them on System...

So Peter has passed, but Cosmic Frontier will live on in his memory! EVO was my favourite game in the franchise, too!

I too preferred SuperPaint. SuperCard was a separate product to HyperCard, and lasted quite a long time -- the last version was 32-bit Intel, so lasted until 2019 as runnable software. It then stayed in support until 2024 when Scott passed away and the site was taken down. I never ended up...

multi-platform games: Strategic Conquest NetRisk NetTrek Spectre (pretty much all of them) Bolo Those are the ones that I'd like to have playable off the top of my head. Of course, most of them already have equivalents or are network playable under emulation.

Well, I'm happy with OpenType fonts today, but I'd really love a built-in font editor again. A real one, that could do splines, kerning, ligatures, etc. So maybe a Mac version of Fontographer? It used to exist, now Fontographer and FontLab are Windows-only :\

Still seems crazy to me that the Lisa operated at 115200 when the early Macs were capped at 57600 per channel. Guess that was part of the cost cutting.

I have to admit, after the first time I installed EV on an emulator where I didn't have my registration handy, I got this idea to invert the logic tied to Cap'n Hector... so now every time he shows up, he doubles the value he was previously stealing.

I used to have a drawer full of those in the early 2000s.

Hmm… why would it strip resource forks? Files I stuff in 7.5.3 usually unstuff with resource forks intact for me on MacOS 26…. Not on Linux or Windows of course.

In my view, Haiku with AMS or MACE running in it would tick all the boxes. Assuming Haiku could be made to run on older PPC Macs as well as Intel and ARM systems.

Congratulations!

Shrink tubing over the roller? The problem is, if you abrade it you’re making it smaller and more uneven.
