Hello all, I am new to this list, but have been "lurking" for some time.
Welcome!
Recently, I was assigned a project for a class at school. I figured that doing a presentation about my SE (FDHD/1 MB/Zip) would be fun and interesting.
Are you sure your stuff isn't too modernish? Such a BIG floppy, and even a ZIP?!?
1) Does anyone have some Spanish variant of sys 6 or ideas about where I can obtain it? I've tried System Six Heaven, Gamba's page, Jag's House, and the Mac512 (it's a shame Apple went after them) with no success.
It's a shame. Really. And after the demise of archaic-apples, I don't have a place I can tell you to turn to. Noone had the guts to re-establish a site where this kind of stuff could be downloaded from. What a waste - there was such a rich collection of software, 20+ flavours of 6.0.7 with spanish as one of the more common. But I hope one of the spanish-speaking list members can help you out.
2) Because I am will be taking it to school for the presentation, I think I need some sort of carrying case. eBay provided few hits. Should I go to LEM swap next or am I wasting my time trying to find something so old?
There was quite a range of makes, and quite a lot of people using them, so these carrying bags are not as rare as one might think. They regularly show up on eBay, so if you look on swaplist, eBay and at your local outlets, chances are you'll find what you need in time. I have three different models, and my "fastest Mac in Südbaden" at the time was an SE/30 in a Targus Bag strapped over my shoulder on a Honda 250 RS.
3) I am planning to run a bit of Shufflepuck Café. Is there any other "gee whiz" thing that I must do to show off?
Shufflepuck rocks. I loved the "Woody Allen" character to tackle whatever opponent. I even ResEdited a personalized "witch" character. Cricket Graph, as suggested by another poster, is a little wonder IMHO. I still use v1.2.1 on a regular basis and I love it for its simplicity, efficacy and clean programming. If you are looking for other examples of eighties "different" Mac programming, you might consider "Moving Finger". It may be raw, but it went right at the heart of graphic Mac programming. Enjoy!
