After watching the two videos by @KennyPowers , I was just wondering if there would be a way to make the background dead space (all four sides, outside the game area) be black rather than white? I must admit that I've been so busy lately, I've not had time to try it out myself yet, but I've...

Privately, yes. But if you re-read my post in this thread today, you will see that when I tested it on my Intel 5K iMac today, it didn't work. Just wanted to mention that. That's why I had the same issue as @djc6 . At work now. No time right now to test your new file. Will later.

I tried the following URL variant WITH NO SUCCESS, so @eric needs to edit his earlier post to fix that URL: https://github.com/erichelgeson/fatdefrag/releases Previously, when I was given the opportunity to beta test this software in private, I was able to use the following steps with success...

Even though it would be nice to have a looser hinge that easier on the plastics, I won't tear apart mine because I know I'd screw up something by doing that. I will just pray that my CM + epoxy fix holds. So far it has. All the gory details of that plastic hinge repair are found starting at...

I didn't get a good answer, so a thousand thanks for tagging me in this thread because I might have overlooked it! What are the exact steps to disassembling the clutch? Looks hard. 😅

I love it when people educated me. Thanks, @muse . And thank you, @ClassicHasClass and @joethezombie and @sunvalleylaw !

Yes, I found the answer in the GEOS docs back in February when I discussed the matter with others in the C64U FaceBook group... LINK: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1249159557042604/posts/1307070134584879 I was 13 in 1984 and the Macintosh 128K was our first family computer, which I...

C64OS never found favor with me, in part because I never had a C64 of any kind when C64OS first came on the scene, but even now I'm not so interested because it seems like a super low-rez 40-column character-based "pseudo GUI": In stark contrast to that, GEOS, despite its flaws, offers a...

Abandonware, I guess. But the fact remains I’ve not seen any videos about anybody ever having used it, and YouTube existed prior to 2010. So maybe Wheels should be classified as vaporware instead? You’d think that with all the millions of C64 units sold back in the day that the retro Commodore...

Found at what URL?

I spent my first month or so with it trying to figure it out because I had zero experience with one. I then started fiddling with GEOS, which led me down the rabbit hole of problem solving, since I don’t have a compatible mouse. I suspended my work on it so I could release my first PowerBook...

Eric, in the 2+ years since your opening post, I take it no one has come forward with a copy-protected 1.44MB floppy? May be hard because I think floppy copy protection was all the rage in the 400K and 800K era, but by the time of 1.44MB drives, software buyers were sick and tired of copy...

Why Word 6 more than Word 5? The Word 6 fiasco

I’ve been using the Portable Battery Eliminator with my Portable, which doesn’t care if the AC Adapter outputs 1.5A or even 10A because the adapter in my case plugs into the Battery Eliminator, for the express purpose of charging it’s super capacitors, which in turn allow the computer to boot...

Yikes! The Apple I certainly can't do much. Well... except sell for outrageous prices if it's an original. :) That's too bad.

Came without keyboard, display, etc. back in the day and users were expected to figure out what to do with it!

No green thread for the top of the logo on the black edition?

Wow! That's pretty neat. I think most of us are always wowed at the Apple I for having started it all, but I cannot help but feel that what really would be ground-breaking is if someone every came up with truly software for the Apple I, driving more vintage computer hobbyists to embark on such...

Yep. And if you click Compact Mac, you can see some interesting names... Scott Baret, still active today over there and on FaceBook too. Tomlee59, who is EE professor Thomas Lee at Stanford, University who created the rather famous Classic Mac Tech Info PDF. He also taught me the fast CRT...

@mmu_man I just found out that power book 150 feet are fully compatible across a broad range of machines and don’t use any rubber part at all. They are a solid piece of plastic. While having rubber bottoms is the ideal, it’s not really that practical. Rubber caps would come off and deteriorate...
