I’m not a fan of self-boosting, but I realised I was remiss in not putting some hashtags on this post after it started gaining the small amount of traction it has.

For those who boosted or liked the original, I’m not asking or expecting a repeat. I just hope with these hashtags it gets a little more traction to acknowledge the genius of #BillAtkinson, who affected so many lives through the genius work he did.

I know he impacted many aspects of my life through the work he did on the Mac, the original System, and MacPaint, and it seems many others were similarly impacted.

It’s been truly inspiring for me to see Mac legends talk how he put the lie to the saying “Never meet your heroes”, as he seemed to have been a hero to many, and never a disappointment in person.

RIP, Bill. :alogo6:

#GlobalTalk #MARCHintosh callout re: PageMaker 4.2...

Does anyone with physical copies of PM4.2 and manuals/books have the 4.2 version of the Aldus PageMaker Script Language Guide?

It might solve a problem for me (and @dillera).

Thanks!

Hey #ClassicMacintosh officionados!

Does anyone remember the name of (or have a photo of) the cooler addon for #ClassicMacs (128, 512, Plus) that inserted a fan in the handle slot to suck air up and out of the passively-cooled macs?

I remember seeing one at university circa 1992, but I can't find any pictures of it.

I'm trying to find it for @libreivan, who wants to develop the equivalent for the iMac G3
