Getting a fake AppleTalk ImageWriter to show up in the Chooser took longer than it should have.

A photo of a Quadra 605 with a MAG displays 768x1024 pivot portrait display set in portrait mode, black and white, with Apple Internet Router running. It's sitting on an 80s style upright desk with external cdrom, nokia cell phone, newton, quicktake 200 and various other hypernostalgic bits and pieces.

this new (non-hypercard, fast, low ram footprint) app "GlobalTalk Chat" released a couple days ago just got an update. It's fantastic to have a landing where you can be active and shoot the breeze with others, gives something else to do apart from stomping around in afps

Visited @likesoldmacs today and got a chance to see his vast collection of retro Apple tech. Also the first time I've seen #Globaltalk up close.

I wouldn't be surprised if people are still using these machines—and even developing for them—fifty years from now. Maybe even further into the future than that.
