Inspired by @awesomekling@twitter.com, I am going to try recording some videos of my C application development on my old Mac. Here's a quick introduction to System 6, THINK C, and my IMAP client.

Making a thing...

A few new capacitors and the old boy lives to see another day of programming

After programming on my Mac 512k every day for the past month or so, its analog board seems to have died :(

I've been learning the Macintosh Toolbox APIs for System 6 and couldn't figure out why some functions had short names like "DisposDialog" but others "ReallocHandle". Turns out Apple's Pascal compiler made routine names significant to only 8 chars, making long names collide.

I bought a Mac 512k for parts and upon opening it, I discovered it has a Mac Rescue board installed which adds Mac Plus ROMs, SCSI, 4mb of RAM, and an 800k floppy drive. Glad I just upgraded my 512ke to 1mb 😕

I'm writing a program on my Mac and the VB3 programmer in me had to start with the About box

I miss you Carl

It's a 2005 kind of day

This was inevitable

And Eudora 1.3 runs, so I can get POP3 email and send via SMTP.

I wonder how much work I could get done on just a Mac with a megabyte of memory.
