Thank you everyone for your #MARCHintosh 2026 greetings left over #GlobalTalk. I've gone through all of them and looked, so much creativity on display! I always love to see it.

By the end of my first #GlobalTalk #MARCHintosh , visitors had dropped off 25 greetings, I discovered a dozen or so new retrocomputing folks to follow on Mastodon, and I picked up a little over 100 little icon packs, games, and utilities that people were sharing in their zones. [1/2]

A Macintosh System 7 folder window showing greetings and notes dropped into a #GlobalTalk dropbox.

Post- #MARCHintosh , I thought it would be nice to contribute the game demos from my #GlobalTalk game demo library to Macintosh Garden, in any cases where I have something they don't. After uploading the first three games, I'm blocked. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Was I able to join in on the fun? No. Did the Duo 2300 work? No. Did the Mac SE work? No. Did the PowerBook 520c work. No. Will I give up in anticipation for #Marchintosh next year? Also, no.

I spent most of the little #MARCHintosh time I had on a CRT repair job, but got some browsing in before the month ends. It's not the end of March yet depending on your timezone...so maybe you'll appreciate this small overview of what's been on the network this year. tvc-16.science/globaltalk-2...

In the end, I wasn’t quite able to finish my #MARCHintosh project on time, as my two #OWC 480GB SSDs have been stuck at customs for the past 10 days. So RAID0 is off the cards for March, and the #PowerMacG5 has to make do with 16GB of RAM, a #GeForce7800GT and Sorbet Leopard for the moment.

My wife found some 2004-era iMovie projects, and now I'm installing iLife '08 on Tiger to see if I can export them into something a bit more modern. I'd like to keep the transition effects I used to go from DV clip to DV clip. Does this count as valid #MARCHintosh?

As a final act of #MARCHintosh I took the drives and dead batteries out of the two MacBooks I'd been fiddling with. No point leaving the batteries in there to maybe leak, and SSDs are thin on the ground these days! I have notes to reinstall Linux and macOS easily now if I ever need to.

the Globaltalk #MARCHintosh Canvas is filling up!

A 1bit black and white community canvas. It is full of various doodles, with significant entries such as wozfestHQ and BABCOM, and various software logos and mascots such as the NeXT, BeOS, vintage Apple, PlayStation, Marathon, Glider, Clarus Dogcow, and the FireWire symbol. There is a network graphic sprawling over the screen connecting various devices and services, some fictional or referential. On the right side there are outlines of Australia and Ireland

Truly there is too much to list
