I'm wondering... are there projects in the #retro #macintosh community to build a "modern classic Mac" (68k) using FPGA or other not-30-to-40-year-old chips?
Eg. to have a #GlobalTalk server with new components?
With a little delay, here come the last #GlobalTalk printouts!
Thank you, @jack68k - yours arrived on the last day of #MARCHintosh in my timezone :-)
Also thank you, @1Bit for the nice view and to the unknown author the final cut :-)
The maybe last printout for #MARCHintosh 2025 arrived via #GlobalTalk - thank you to @gutbomb!
And yes, we'll see next #MARCHintosh, but my zone will also be available during the rest of the year :-)
A new #GlobalTalk printout arrived!
Thank you, @I80386sx!
Greetings to your new boss :-)
Visiting every #GlobalTalk server/share takes a while...
#MARCHintosh
New printouts arrived!
Thanks to @Btb (and Minna), the unknown crab sender (cool crabs!), probably @kalleboo for the high-res trophy and @jack68k!
I'm hereby officially contacting you for the activation of my coverage! :-)
New printouts arrived in the last days!
Thank you to @theirongiant and @autumn!
Now into the last weekend of #GlobalTalk 2025!
Btw: my zone, BabCom, and its #FirstClass server, will stay online even after march.
Hmm. I think, I will switch back to using AIR instead of Novell #NetWare for #GlobalTalk.
Something made AppleTalk on NetWare 4.11 crash for the second time now and AURP stopped working...
After starting AIR again now (with the latest nodelist from @kalleboo), I do see 87 zones now :)
I took part in the #GlobalTalk Scavenger Hunt and finished it (with the great help of @europlus 's clue thread) :)
Thank you very much to @kalleboo who created it - and to all who took part in it!
It was very cool to be part of this adventure and to help a little :)
A new printout just arrived! #GlobalTalk
Thank you, i80386!
Does anyone know a source for the last firmware file for a Apple AirPort Extreme A1034?
Thank you!

Testing Quicktime Conferencing on my iMac G4 via #GlobalTalk :-)
Incredible! And still better than Teams :-)
Now I might need an iSight camera (is it compatible?)...
A question regarding #GlobalTalk and MacOS X #Tiger: Is it possible to make Tiger (10.4.11) compatible with AFP via AppleTalk shares?
I thought that it would work, but I guess my own netatalk just used AFP over IP.
Now I tried mounting a GlobalTalk share from my new 12-inch PowerBook G4 and got a message saying that it doesn't work...
Is there anything that can be configured here to make it work (well, besides using 10.3)?
Thank you!

Thanks to the unknown initiator!
Yay! Some new printouts arrived in the last days on my printer Sunny in the #GlobalTalk zone BabCom!
Thank you, @jack68k, @theirongiant, @dillera!
Retro Mac people: What trackball would be the most fitting for a iMac G4?
Has there been a nice white model back in the days?
Thank you!

@dillera
The new MDN edition just arrived, but I think it has some font issue again... sorry...
The latest #MARCHintosh Daily News just arrived via #GlobalTalk ! And even through my #NetWare server :-)
Thank you @dillera !
But page 10 seems to have some issues here... could you resend pages 9 and up? Thanks!
I've created a Python script which downloads the #GlobalTalk nodelist from @kalleboo, gets IPs for all hostnames and uploads the list as a #NetWare AURP.CFG file to the server (via FTP).
Together with CRON.NLM, which restarts AURP.NLM on NetWare, this should make it possible to follow all nodes :)
