Copland Tethered

Another fun Copland discovery.  I've always wanted to run Copland in an emulator, even since I found a copy on a Caraccho server back in the early 2000s, but according to the details, you always needed a debug machine to have your Copland machine tethered to because it was so unstable. It's interesting to live vicariously through others who played with this ;-)

Computer Chronicles - MacOS Copland

I remember the Computer Chronicles on my local PBS station.Pretty cool to discover some of these old Copland Demos (even though Apple totally botched that potential future). In some alternate universe, Copland forms the basis for MacOS X 😅

MacOS Copland

A blast from the past!  I remember reading the Mac magazines (MacWorld, MacUser, and MacAddict) back in 1996 and waiting eagerly the next incarnation of MacOS. While many of the ideas from this went into the actual MacOS 8, Copland never made it out of the lab.  You can find installation discs for this on the web today in various repositories which is great, but I am wondering how one goes

Ο Πρώτος υπολογιστής

IBM PS/2 Model 12 Αφού λοιπόν το πρώτο καλοκαίρι θα το περνάγαμε στην Βοστόνη, ήταν ευκαιρία να ζητήσω υπολογιστή από τον πατέρα. Όλες οι εργασίες στο λύκειο έπρεπε να είναι γραμμένες στο υπολογιστή, τίποτα δεν ήταν δεκτό το

More classic goodness, in your web browser

Well.  As if running MacOS 6 in vMac on your smartwatch wasn't enough, if you are craving some classic operating systems check out PCE.js which allows you to run MacOS 6 in a web browser, as well as Windows and DOS.  I wonder what my younger self would think of this if I had seen this 20 years ago... Now it's time to start emulating Amigas, IIgs, and OS/2. If you feel nostalgic for Windows

Εισαγωγή στην Επιστήμη!

Ένα από τα μαθήματα που είχα την πρώτη μου χρονιά στο λύκειο, όταν επέστρεψα από την Ελλάδα, ήταν το μάθημα που λεγόταν “εισαγωγή στην επιστήμη” ή στα Αγγλικά Introduction to Physical Sciences (IPS), δηλαδή μια εισαγωγή στην φυσική και

Alpha Protocol - some initial thought

With yet another driving scene in Alone in the Dark, I decided to put this game aside and try my hand at Alpha Protocol, another game that I got in the used bin for less than $15 this past summer.  While Alone in the Dark does allow me to skip that driving scene and go to the next part of the game (perhaps this being a silent acknowledgement that some of the game mechanics don't work

Super Mario Crossover!

This is a good find: Play Super Mario Brothers with your favorite character from Legend of Zelda, Metroid, Mega Man, Simon Belmont or that guy from Contra :-) Now of course some things just don't work like Samus' blaster  is kinda pathetic in the Mario World, and some things word great (like the Contra guy's gun).  It's a nice little NES nostalgia mashup for those of us who grew up with

Apple III

Παλαιότερα η Apple προσπασούσε να μπει στον κόσμο του Business Computing και η πρώτη (και μάλλον η τελευταία) προσπάθεια της μα δημιουργήσει ένα business-only μηχάνημα ήταν το Apple III με το λειτουργικό SOS (sophisticated operating sytem).Δεν είχα ποτέ την ευκαιρία
