Friday, March 1, at 7 PM Pacific, I will live-stream the Macintosh Plus Guided Tour. The one with the audio tape.

(This time with the right floppy disk!)

You will learn:

• How to start up a Macintosh
• How to use a mouse
• What “windows” and “icons” and “applications” are
• How to navigate folders to find your documents

I have previously used an ibook g3 for taking notes at lectures, though starting this year I replaced it with a 2017 surface pro with type cover. for marchintosh I thought it would be fun to use an even older macintosh than the g3, so I took the powerbook 1400 to uni today

it honestly works quite nicely for what I used it for. biggest problem is that the battery is so dead the RTC can't keep time when unplugged from the wall, meaning every time I start it up I need to manually set time and date. also as a pre-usb machine if I want the notes off of it, it's more work

note to self: do not leave not-quite-dead batteries in your powerbook, even if they're NiMH. it might end up booting itself up, realizing it has too little battery, going into sleep mode, and then absolutely refusing to wake up. fortunately reseting the power manager fixed it (though I did have a bit of a scare as mac os loaded and got the idea that backlight brightness should be 0)
