My mother in law found this when moving house and now it’s mine! It’s a Panasonic PenWriter, a typewriter that’s actually a pen plotter! Can’t wait to try it out, but I don’t have much hope for the pens still working #penplotter

🦠 We program a lot of things in this office but none quite as frustrating as our new sinks. yes, sinks.

the sink settings (!) are set with an infrared remote, which you have to place in front of the faucet IR sensor β€” virtually guaranteeing it immediately gets drenched in a spray of water. anywayyyy

okay don't change that byte, GOT IT.
I think I failed to load the cursor, which caused it to corrupt the mouse cursor catastrophically

ok (still 0.4 no version change) should now have a polyfill that takes care of rendering issues in that caused the pre-process sliders to not affect the image

still isn't, and will not be, supported

Anyone want this 1MB #macintoshplus ?

It's not got a floppy drive in it and the image needs straightening but it works.

It's the one with the reconditioned flyback in it I recoated a while back. It's been recapped and has the diode mod for SCSI.

I was thinking around CAD$50, local Toronto pickup. I can ship but obviously that's riskier and will be at your cost.

I can include the dead floppy too if you want it.
