Nah This didn’t do it. ok so if that’s not it my next guess is that I’m doing something that is either using 68020 instructions or newer-than-68000 rom calls via a toolbox call… the only thing that comes to mind is a few extra toolbox functions I had to type in myself as per the apple...

Right. Well - confirmed doesn't work in 7.5 on my SE either. Well shoot - I had no idea that I could break compatibility between the 68030 and 68000 processors if they were running the same system software and both had sufficient memory available etc.. You know what.. hold on.. at least...

AH! confirmed - my SE with 7.0.1 gets Unimplemented trap crash as well!! Trying with 7.5 to see if the break happens along those lines or if it's something odder (like related to Plus and SEs but not SE/30.?)

Very wild. I should try it on my SE and I should try to put System 7.0.1 on it to get as close to a Plus as I have on hand. I don't know anything about the v3 ROM differences so I can't speak to that. Now you got me thinking so I'm going to go try 7.0.1 on my SE and see how it does...

Gah - you're right about the .sit file incompatibility!!. Sorry - I must have accidentally used some newer stuffit to compress it. Normally I use the old 1.x stuffit but this time I think I got lazy and used some newer drop stuff. Ok I updated the release and the main branch to have a .sit...

Thanks -- yes a list of extensions would be good so I could try to recreate (safe mode aka extensions off I assume would be good too) -- but before that I assume you've used that method in the past to transfer files? I didn't think anything [with a resource fork, i.e. most apps] was safe going...

ah! wtf. Thanks for the heads up I'll try it later today. The readme states some system requirements I'd expect System 7.0.1 to work hmm... Ok I just tried it on InfiniteMac with System 7.0 (they didn't offer 7.0.1) and that version (1.3.2) works on it.. Strange though.... It doesn't...

Thanks for the tips as always. I implemented the window redraws by hiding the window before the resize+move. Tradeoff being that it technically disappears momentarily while it resizes+moves in the background before drawing it again in the new size+position but on my SE/30 it was unnoticeable...

Was great to play with your NeXT setup! First time I ever got to use one in person. The spinning beachball I encountered took me back to OS X!! Beautiful graphics on the next machine!

Thanks @Patrick I wish he was still taking donations. I’d like to chip in. Probably would take it if I reached out directly so I’ll try that. Labors of love!

Yup stays at whichever size you set it to. And no more hiding away. Ah I hear you on the sim issue -- you mean your memory issue? I noticed no problems running think c 5 on my 32-bit enabled emulator but haven't tried it on the se/30. Hiding would be cool if I hacked the system to make the...

I spent time last night replacing the hide feature with a toggle size. One of the .h files in the current release contains the icon width and height as constants. You could just mess with these and youll see the icons at the different size. However if you go lower than 32 x 32 youll see a...

Coasters. They were low on the happy macs or Id have gotten four!

I managed to come away from VCG without any additional computers but I did pick up an awesome set of coasters (pic soon) and @Mac84 's table had an awesome "Ask me about Lisa" repro button I couldn't resist. And a few other goodies.

Haven't noticed the think c issue but come to think of it I haven't tried running it with 32-bit addressing. Dock hiding - yes, it just tucks halfway down. Pops back up when you go into the MacDock program -- admittedly not how modern macOS works. It was a simple way to help me when I had...

Not the Verge’s one but this one: Been like a year since I heard early 2023..?

That is awesome that you still have the books. The pdf versions make it a little easier to search I think but I’ve never done it with the books! MacDock has a “hide” feature that sinks it down halfway but the idea of using the smaller icons has its own advantages, makes sense, and wouldn’t be a...

Wonderful! Thanks 🙏 for filling my curiosity. Yes you should go for it! Think c 5 should build it no problem. Def let me know if you have any issues. Ive tried building it on 3 different computers but that is not much of a test😂. i would love it if you or anyone contributed to the source so...

Absolutely. The git repo has a .sit that contains all the same files as the repo but with resource fork preserved. That includes the think c 5 project file Why do you ask?

To all of you whom I met on the show floor - what a pleasure. To those I didn’t - I hope to do so soon. What a great vibe and spirit at the show!!
