I gotta admit, I'm pretty excited about this one. Bob "Dr. Macintosh" LeVitus is one of my favorite tech writers. Books, newspapers, magazines, blogs... you too have no doubt read his work.
He helped folks keep the faith even in some of the darkest times!

#MARCHintosh Hello all!
@museumjoe.bsky.social @1bit.bsky.social
I originally brought the PowerBook G3 Lombard from Canada to use it for parts, specifically using the screen on my Pismo. That didn’t work because the screen was slightly different, the inverter board as well, and so were the cables and quite literally […]

Greetings from 1Bit, RToD, Superbenk, 68kradio, and others.
You know it’s #MARCHintosh when you walk past the basement stair and wonder what’s wrong with the furnace blower and suddenly remember you’re on #GlobalTalk and someone is printing to your ImageWriter II.
Updated for #MARCHintosh the retro screen saver collection! Classic Mac magazine cover images from Macworld and MacUser! @a2_4am 's Mac crack videos! FUN FUN FUN! https://github.com/esoffron/compatible-boot-theater
Are you?

AppleTalk router crashed and cut the Mac Plus off from the internet. Got the router back online, but it wouldn’t pass traffic. Just as I was about to post about it and take a break, it started working. #MARCHintosh
Oh hey, it's #Marchintosh! HyperDither is free for a limited time. Go and pixel some stuff!

My first #MARCHintosh casualty 🫡
@theirongiant guided me through some percussive maintenance but he's dead, Jim.

I guess my new unexpected #MARCHintosh project is to fix this BlueSCSI I have that arrived DoA back when I bought it.
One of the pins is not connected through, so one bit of each byte is wrong. Is there a pinout for these from pi->DB25 to help me buzz out the pins?
My First #MARCHintosh video of the Year is out!

For #MARCHintosh, my #Amiga4000 disguises itself as a pretty decent #68kMac.

My first #marchintosh stream of the month! Let's try to repair a couple of Quadra 660av logic boards and try video input with them through my Mavica. Also, I want to show off what I have learned about this Sierra Video Systems Delta rack thing. (Noon EST on the 7th) youtube.com/live/-d5jHDI...

Is everyone enjoying #MARCHintosh 2026?
Do you have a #GlobalTalk setup?
* Post anything about Macintosh stuff en les réseaux sociaux?
** Make curmudgeonly blog statements about your vintage computer affairs?
Let us know! Drop in the hashtag!
* je ne parle pas français.
** sorry/not sorry.
A print from GlobalTalk that says "Happy" and then it fades out because the ribbon ran dry.
Great job! You guys wore out my ImageWriter ribbon. This is the one that was installed in there when I got the thing a good 10+ years ago. I just put a fresh new one in, let's see how that one does!

Does anyone have a license key for DragThing 4.6.1? The upgrade license I can find in Surfers Serials works until I reboot when it gets unlicensed again.

Pinging @jamesthomson because I'm naughty like that
In a #MARCHintosh inspired vibe code session, Chris created a really sweet browser dot matrix program. RSS Ready, ASCII Art ready, Insert your own text and images, AND MORE!
I think most people here want to keep them, but just in case, if anyone in the EU wants to let go of any 68040 Mac without a CRT (ideally an LC 475, but open to Centris or Quadra as well) or anything part of the LC family regardless of the CPU, please ping me! #MARCHintosh
SimThyr 2.0 on a Mac SE with Mac OS Antares 6.0.7 (left) and SimThyr 4.0.6 on a MacBook Air with macOS Ventura 13.7 (right)
30 years of #SimThyr in #Marchintosh 2026: #SimThyr 2.0 on a Mac SE with Mac OS Antares 6.0.7 and SimThyr 4.0.6 on a MacBook Air with macOS Ventura 13.7.
Thanks to the fact that the code was based on the #Pascal programming language, the software is highly portable, but runs with full native speed.
Three dot matrix print outs One is a simple greeting One is an exploded vide of the same printer it was printed on One is a bug report
An ASCII art printout but it was too wide so it got line wrapped and ended up double as tall
Six different print outs, a map showing California from the cloud, am adventure quiz from the iron giant. A cool sunglasses-wearing selfie from Eric's edge. Musical greetings from 1-bit, thinking about macs, and 2026 greetings from RToD
Been a crazy busy week for various reasons so apologies that I haven’t kept up with posting #GlobalTalk prints! I appreciate them all!
The first picture are the ones who were a bit quick on the gun and sent prints back in February! Then we have a print from […]

hmmm I need to make the #MARCHintosh equivalent of a QSL card for globaltalk
A Macintosh SE with an external floppy drive attached and a winning solitaire game displayed.
I found a stack of 800k install disks, but the internal drive is being flaky. Luckily I have a couple external 800k drives for my IIgs. But I’m beginning to think that the scsi2sd may not work with the SE. Or something else is broken. #marchintosh
New version is out, with optimized scrolling! Especially noticeable on older machines, it now scrolls the chat log cleanly instead of constantly redrawing the whole window. No more annoying white flashes!
