I’m trying to find a hard copy of “Commodore 64 Whole Memory Guide” by Tim Arnot. I know… hard to find but if anyone has any leads, please pass them along 
My #MARCHintosh 2026 calling card has been dropped to every #GlobalTalk share I can see that lets me connect and has a public drop box 
(and if you haven't gotten it yet, don't worry, I'll check for new shares periodically during the event - there's also a copy on my public share in the MARCHintosh goodies folder)
This was a fun one to build, I did it using THINK C over the course of a couple weekends. It would have been a _lot_ easier in Director, REALBasic, HyperCard - or even MacPython - but part of the fun for me is learning C and the Macintosh Toolbox, writing code the way it was done back in the day, a little closer to the hardware.
I wanted to make sure it could run on both new and old operating systems - and it will work on anything from System 6.0 up to Mac OS 9.2.2. However if you run it on an older System version it'll still pop a dialog with a greeting, you just won't get the “multimedia experience”. The reason for that is because it requires the Sound Manager, and trying to call that API on older System versions causes a bomb.
A couple other tricks I learned:
- how to figure out if Color QuickDraw is available and return a B&W PICT resource if it's not
- how to print! Yes this calling card will happily print a copy of itself to your chosen printer. Although it might not look correct, I had to re-align the text to the correct page width based on my printer, your mileage may vary.
(fun fact: that wasn't the original intent - I also found a copy of my 1993 Xmas Wish List in my floppy archive, I wanted to store that in a styled text resource and print that instead as an easter egg, but ran out of time)
Yep - that's a real picture of me, circa 1993, with the family Macintosh IIfx and Personal LaserWriter NTR. I've posted it here a couple of times before. And that kid's voice you hear when clicking on a particular hotspot? That's my real voice too - from 1993 - recorded at a computer camp using a Farallon MacRecorder. I extracted it from a HyperCard stack that I found on one of the disks I archived last year.
