I don't drop by often these days, and definitely don't have time to curate an encyclopedia any more, but definitely would authorize a new user if I got a request to do so. I don't think I've seen a request in a couple years. So, yes, part of the blame for the state of the wiki is the user...

It's possible ... just maybe ... that I have 1.6 CDs sitting on a spindle somewhere. That was the first version I ever used. I don't have any mac68k hardware anymore, but may still have that media.

Second for Oscar/Grouch. "I love trash!" Second for Spectre. Which version was it with the updated weapons, like mines and spinners? Or did they all have that? Gauntlet. "Wizard needs food, badly." It would be fine with me if gameplay was not changed at all; just update the graphics. Or maybe...

I've added a notification to the main page about the registration lockdown.

All you need to do is drop me a note, and I'll get your account created. I thought there was a note to that effect, but maybe not.

is there any good documentation on programming the DSPs?

Anyone noticed that some glyphs from good ol' Cairo are used in the Unicode standard? I'd thought they'd looked familiar, but never connected the dots. Of the "distinctive" glyphs (not just things like arrows where there's bound to be similarities), $ (pear, U+1F350), * (cactus, U+1F335), and ␡...

Yeah, I have to agree, penelope was the site for A/UX for a decade now. I'm going to hate updating the FAQ with another "defunct" listing. I'm out of any historical computing now, too, though, so it doesn't come as too much of a shock.

Yeah, pretty sure the Group icon with the two faces is what I was thinking about. The single user one looks right. Now I just need to find a screenshot of it. FWIW, I'm basing some of the dingbats in my new font on Mac UI elements.

I swear I remember seeing a globe in the UI back in the day, but darned if I can remember where it was used. Maybe an icon, or part of a control panel screen. There's a tiny one as part of some Appleshare elements, but I'm thinking there was a large-ish, almost 32×32 one. Similarly, I'm...

I don't think any 100Mb cards are supported under A/UX. I checked the FAQ and didn't even find reference to 100Mb. Regarding the other questions, I'll let someone with more network experience field them.

If you've never used it for coding, here are some Monaco specimens: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Monaco1Sp.png http://www.identifont.com/show?1O2

LOL. I want to use those good ol' AD modules on OS X. They had a certain creativity and "fun" to them that still hasn't been matched. If it's possible to extract resources from them, in theory it should be possible to do.

Monaco has good distinction between those characters, too. One thing I find helpful for programming, beyond that, is narrow width. Courier is monospaced, but very wide. Monospaced fonts generally tend to seem wide, because they have to be big enough to legibly display characters with 3 and...

I think Monaco is one of the best, if not the best, programmer's (and general-purpose monospace) font ever. Many agree with me. But some don't. If you are one of them, what is it you don't like? Are there specific features you don't like, or is it the overall appearance? Conversely, what are...
