Power Computing's advertising was absolutely unhinged.

I've wanted to re-do this poster for years. Here, Power Computing's Seybold 1996 poster as an all-vector delight that'd fit on a floppy. www.danamania.com/print/Power%...

A screenshot of a remake of Power Computing's Seybold-San Francisco poster. The poster has bold yellow-orange gradient text stating SEYBOLD SAN FRANCISCO, SEPTEMBER 11-13, 1996. PUBLISH OR PERISH. Refuse to be a victim. Help power computing fight back for the Mac!. Power Computing's PowerTower Pro 225 - The Ultimate Publishing Weapon. Across the middle of the poster is a cartoon image of a blonde green-eyed woman with a handgun against an American flag with speech bubbles stating "You can take my mac... ...when you pry my cold dead fingers off the mouse!"

The most classic MacWorld cover ever.

I think the Bigelow & Homes TrueType versions of Chicago and Geneva are disgraces to the original bitmap versions. I always thought Chicago had a 1920s art deco look that the TT version doesn't capture at all. Geneva has literally nothing in common with its original and the C and G are weird.

So I'm really excited to say that the first DLC pack, The Wider World of Atari, has an extensive video interview with Evelyn Seto, the graphic designer who actually INKED THE ICONIC FUJI LOGO back in 1972, and went on to lead Atari's graphic design efforts in later years.

The MacTable was a real thing that really existed, and from what I can tell, early models may have even been an officially licensed Apple accessory. Anyhow, I would like to see more utility-focused computer desks come back into use. Something more than a flat slab on legs, as my ex used to call me.

Yes. I miss mine.

Last-minute #Marchintosh shenanigans: installing the software for this ridiculous beast of a keyboard on my SE/30 The alphanumeric keys work fine as-is, I think all this driver did was enable functionality for the volume and sound recording buttons. Which are pretty handy to be fair.
