Cool New Tools by Kalleboo for #MARCHintosh!

I gotta admit, I'm pretty excited about this one. Bob "Dr. Macintosh" LeVitus is one of my favorite tech writers. Books, newspapers, magazines, blogs... you have no doubt read his work. He helped folks keep the faith even in some of the darkest times!

I process the approvals for the event... and as long as you don't make your request at like 4am CST, it usually goes pretty quick.

Be sure to check out the #MARCHintosh 2026 kick off stream... this Saturday, February 28th 2026 at 7pm CST

Just in time for those cold Winter nights (assuming you live in the Northern hemisphere), the folks at Ludit Games w/ original series designer Mark Pierce are proud to present.. 🦇🦇 RETURN TO DARK CASTLE! 🦇🦇 (Add it to your wishlist today!) https://www.ludit.games/...

Having to buy a bunch of bad machines at a premium price is a bad deal no matter how you work it. Save your money, get to VCFMW in 2026 - and buy a NeXT machine there. You'll literally save thousands.
