I wrote this original this weekend and used G4 with OS 9 and the "Crystal synth" and then threw the tracks to the Mac Pro in Logic X,
Let me know what you guys think
First of all I think your post should have been posted here:
-can a Global Moderator please move this post- J K
Well I was wondering what kind of creative stuff you guys might be making with all this great old tech,
put up a track or two,vid/art or something:-) and say a few words about it if you want....
I've been thinking about the very same thing, then finally found the above shown hints.
Secondly - YOU ROCK!

DieHard ROCKS.™
I really like it a lot, especially the intro, must have heard it 15+ times meanwhile typing this post. Afterwards YouTube keeps playing Africa by Toto for me, released as a single in October 1982. The Nostalgia flashback trip is complete.
Why is Toto Africa so popular?
"The song's popularity is aided by the fact that it's actually a very well-crafted piece of music, with driving drum loops, layered harmonies, and an anthemic chorus. The lyrics can be a bit hard to make out, and as is often the case with 80s tracks." I could say the very same for your track DieHard, mean that -no I'm not trying to suck up to the Boss.
For the third, you have balls, it takes balls to post something as personal as this, way to go -tipping my cap.
Now to the serious point.
I did pm DieHard a couple of days after joining, letting him know that I already had gotten some ideas. Now I could just have kept with the pm. But as MacTron slogan goes: Please don't PM about things that are not private.
I love this awesome community and the wild, Wild West of this forum, as it gets both my brain halves working and I like connecting the dots.
It's crystal clear that

Why Mac OS 9 ?
:User Responsiveness
There are graphic artists, publishers, and writers that claim they can create projects faster with OS 9 because it "thinks" the way they do; they focus on one or two things (applications) at a time and see them to completion.

Then take, well pick anyone, it's amazing reads, I have many, many hours of reading ahead of me, just in one topic.
Did not mean to expose anyone, just showing examples
-sorry you two. Here let me just expose myself too. I sent a pm to user siddhartha77 on January 08, 2022.
Hi siddhartha77
The past days I've been pondering about that Captain's Quarters II. I feel like I've seen it before, many years ago, maybe when I was using the Hotline client. Anyway, is there any possibility that you know how one goes about creating the digital image art that are shown on the login page of Captain's Quarters?
Come to think of it, it may very well have been something that have come up in my mind many times over the years. I'd like to explore into it. What applications do one need to use to convert an image into that. That art style suits my new cyberpunk art punk style perfectly, and I thought of using it on billboards in the futuristic cities in my artworks. Mind that my work cannot be recreated using any digital medium, so when I have an imaged converted into the looks of the Captain's Quarters page, I'll then again have to convert it manually back into a physical artwork, before I make a giclée print and video of it.
Hope to hear from you
My best Cas
I was referring to the image used in the ZTerm app., found on the left side of the desktop on his link:
os9.ca from his post:
Topic: os9.caThere are so many that have introduced themselves, with true feelings, only posted once, but with great enthusiasm. We have a place in the forum for the techs, the scavengers, collectors, builders, Mac hacks, coders, developers, programmers etc. As well as for the musicians, composers -but not really for the latter. Yes for the technical application part, but not really a place.
A place like a
Board or a
Child Board where the musicians, composers, artists, graphic artists, publishers, poets, writers, authors, the list goes on. Can exchange their ideas, showcase and post their works, for everyone using Mac OS 9 or any of the other Original Systems. Sure they can do it and can continue to do it where they do it now, but people don't get which OS we are taking about and think we are out of this world. All us, that are here, think differently, now that we are here, we might as well stick together.
Could we establish that and have a locked
Welcome Board Topic that asks newcomers what interest they have and links that direct them to the specific
Boards/Child Boards. ?
My proposal isn't anything new, just connecting the dots.
MacTron mentioned it back in 2014:
Topic: GUIDELINES - Embedding MP3 audio in the forum post. How to. (Read 10655 times)
It's also here you'll find Chris mentioning it was his idea of enabling the button for embedding YouTube videos.
I also totally agree with Mat's post from 2016:
Topic: Please stop embedding Youtube videos Good thing autoplay is disabled.
Can we enable a button for embedding tracks too, from Soundcloud or wherever? I know it has to work for users visiting the site from within Mac OS 9. The (tiff, air, aifc) format was released in 1988 (.mp3) in 1991, (.flac) in 2001 and (.ogg) in 2003.
Pictures of svg or any other artworks can be compressed to the file size next to nothing.
Some basic rules must be established.
I really meant it when I said: "After finding this site and using OS 9, I'm astounded at how extraordinarily advanced and fast the system and the thousands of applications are. Except for the GUI look and huge app sizes, the 'modern' have had very little, 'new' -if nothing, to offer me."
I'd really like for us to gather the unique more howl-hearted, and bring them home, for real.
