MDN issue 8 is here and slowing going encapsulated packet by encapsulated packet (it's a sad state of affairs when perfectly legitimate AppleTalk packets must be ushered across the internet inside TCP but this is what we deal with) across the #globaltalk interwebs to various printer end points.

Hey all. I’ll be leaving my IIci on from now through Sunday evening (-8 GMT). It would make my month if folks left some cards on my Mac. I don’t have much to share other than some fun all ages artwork in 256 color PICT format. This is my first Globaltalk and it’s just been so fun. My zone is “rexouiums”. I’m row 154 on the sheets. Thanks so much all and happy mac’ing!

One of the interesting things about AIR is that it can continue to run in the background when other things have gone pear-shaped.

Here we see that the Airaga AIR machine’s Finder has crashed, and I can’t do anything but Restart, but the zone continues to be visible from WOzFest HQ AIR machine and you can still navigate and connect to the file share running on the crashed machine!

Tried out InterPrint on my IIfx today and I've got to say, it works beautifully!

This Chooser extension allows you to print to LPR queues over TCP/IP. But unlike the IP printing support in LaserWriter 8 (which "requires" Mac OS 8, though I think you can manually install it on as low as System 7.5.3), InterPrint works all the way down to System 6.0.5! It fully supports PostScript, too.

What this means for me is that after #MARCHintosh is over, I can repurpose my Raspberry Pi, which currently acts as an AppleTalk print server for my local network (and #GlobalTalk, by extension).
