Finally got MAE 3.0.4 (Macintosh Application Environment) working on Solaris (thanks to @_the_cloud.for a super tutorial!) It core dumped on Solaris 10, Appletalk failed in Solaris 8, so I installed Solaris 2.6 and it works great! Now connected to #globaltalk - Sorry for the poor photo but not sure how to take a screenshot :-)

@jcs @fergycool Thank you for this! I've had the same issue with the phone camera and usually end up taking 4-5 photos in rapid succession to get one usable shot of the screen. This will be so much better.

@_the_cloud @jcs Aha! Gave it a try. My first was a little too blurry but then I did hold my hands a little steadier! Thanks again!

@fergycool @jcs Can you prop the phone against the back of a chair or other makeshift tripod?

@_the_cloud @jcs Good idea. I do have a tripod/clamp somewhere around here!

@_the_cloud @jcs Oh no! I finally learn how to take a decent photo of a CRT screen and the next day the CRT monitor dies! Display went dead and it makes a buzzing noise. I understand this is the flyback transformer! It's a massive Sun monitor that has been in a loft for twenty years. It has pigeon droppings when I retrieved it three months ago (32 kgs is not easy to bring down a ladder!).

@jcs Thanks for that! I had Live Photo turned off but I will turn on back again for future snaps!
