    Our Boise event, inaugural for the new group, went very well! Apple II, Macintosh of various eras, Commodore of various iterations and eras, Amiga, Atari, and IBM-PC were all represented. For a couple/few hours, almost all displays/stations were occupied, and the flow was pretty consistent for...

    2026 PowerPC Challenge: the user's Unofficial thread

    I think I may have accidentally already started one, if I remember correctly. Will check it out and be sure. I used to have a similar experience with some folks on my guitar forum on Saturday mornings for a while as well. Nerding out on gear, music theory as it applied to guitar, etc. And I...

    Using Vintage Macs for Productivity and Document Drafting

    I will likely be in either a version of 8 or 9 on a G3 processor in my Beige G3, or Blue and White, or Kanga, or 603e chip if on my 3400c. Considering Office 98 or 2001, for forward capability.
