I've returned to System 6 programming again after a hiatus. Recently I made a small revision control system called Amend to manage the code that I write on my Mac.

When you write a bunch of code at once and don't trust that it won't bomb the computer so you single-step through every line in the debugger to inspect variables along the way and it's actually working

This poor thing must take forever to boot

I even got this StyleWriter II and a new ink cartridge just so I could print the registration form from my Mac

Darn, I tried to register my 26-year old copy of ZTerm but it was returned to me

I'm loving all these ancient desktops being uploaded

The Intel Compute Stick was a small x86 alternative to the Raspberry Pi. They're discontinued now but are only ~$50 on eBay for a dual-core 1.4Ghz Atom, 2GB RAM and a 32GB SDMMC disk, and they run OpenBSD fine (and the drivers actually work)

Turns out it's Apple's Communications Toolbox and the only way to remove it is to find its installer, copy it to a boot disk, reboot to it, run it, hold down Option, and the Install button will change to Remove.

It drove me nuts and I couldn't figure out what exactly was causing it or how to remove it. I eventually just restored my System Folder from a backup.

I recently installed MS Works 3 and it installed some modem stuff and this stupid extension returned, taunting me every boot. \

I installed some communications program on my Mac Plus a while ago and at every boot I'd get this extension showing up and a new "Communications Folder" in my System Folder even if I deleted it before rebooting. \
