A URL I just found that might be of interest

So one thing leads to another and I notice a photo of a weird long-wise display that I'd only ever seen the likes of with photos of the Xerox Star. I head off to Google Images wondering where to start and in in a spark of inspiration I google "mac portrait display", thinking "they named the Cinema Display, so 'portrait display' might work".

And it did. But the reason for this post's existance is to point out one of the URLs I found in the result pages, which seems to contain quite a bit more Mac-related stuff than that image:

http://www.d4.dion.ne.jp/~motohiko/index.htm

(The image Google found is to be discovered on this page.)

The site itself is mostly Japanese, so you won't find most of the textual information there of much help unless you can read that, but there are quite a few photos and there appears to be some software as well.

Also note that the page seems to have a higher-than-normal fascination with GIFs - it isn't overmuch, but it is, like... "this got made in 1999-2000, or by a designer who didn't notice we're in 2008"-ey. :p

Although the website isn't really news I will say I'd love to have an Apple Portrait Display. I've seen photos but I've never seen one for sale or an auction for one. I'm sure they've shown up on eBay...but not while I was looking.

 
I've got one of those! :b&w:

They were pretty popular around here. I recall we had them in high school in all computer rooms in the middle nineties. I got mine with a IIci that I "conquered" in the university's computer garbage container. Both fully functional and in a good state, except the big uni stamp burnt in the plastic…

Pretty cool display to write essayys, btw!

 
Has anyone ever contacted the site's owner about putting up disk images. It seems he has the *original* floppies of most of that software, and most of it is stuff I haven't ever seen available on the Internet.

 
some time back I was searching for some software and tried to get in touch with the site owner, but didn't get any response ...

 
i have not been to that site before and i have to say i think its absolutely epic. i'll definitely check it out more once i have a bit of free time.
