Für die deutschen #retrocomputing Freunde:

Im letzten c't Newsletter von #heise, war die Rede davon, dass bei genügend Interesse ein #retrocomputing Podcast geplant ist. Ich finde die Podcasts von heise qualitativ sehr gut und ein Podcast zu dem Thema wäre ein Hit.

Also bei Interesse, schickt bitte Michael eine E-Mail. Seine E-Mail Adresse befindet sich im Newsletter unten unter "Olle Kamellen neu vertont".

I don’t know what kind of rabbit hole I’m about to go down. I have *both* models of the Macintosh Portables—the original M5120 and the M5126 with back-lit screen. One has a trackball, the other has a keypad. Neither battery is functioning (no surprise). I know the hard drive on the M5120 (right) is hosed because I did hack together a battery a decade ago from Allied. I think it is toast now too.

Where do I start? At the end of the process I want ONE working Portable, probably the 5126 and swap the keypad for the trackball.

This is a pixel-perfect vector (as a png here) of the very early System 1.1 and Finder v1.1g “about” screen. It is pretty hard to find on the internet, generally. Again, thanks to the Infinite Mac website for allowing me to to take a screenshot!

I recreated every pixel as a 1x1 px vector and merged them where possible. As an svg or it will render perfectly at any size. I have two versions—this one with the words and shadow as the original and a second one without the words and shadow. #marchintosh #vintagecomputers #macOS
