e28 – Software for Kids

We review some of the best software for kids on the Apple II and the Classic Mac, most of which we grew up with. Along the way we die of dysentery (not really), pursue a sticky-fingered filcher, and put "something on that I don't like!"

e26 – Preserving Mac history with Stephen Hackett

To celebrate our first anniversary, we're joined by Stephen Hackett of relay.fm and 512 Pixels. We talk about the different ways we came to the Mac, some of the weirder things in our Apple collections, and the importance of archiving technology for the future.

Also part of our anniversary celebrations, Simple Beep t-shirts are available!

e25 – The Works

This episode is all about "the best-loved application for the Mac", ClarisWorks. We remember a simpler age of word processing, not understanding how the "New document" command or pixels worked, and some difficult transitions in our productivity workflows.

In this episode we go on a hunt for some of the hidden "features" of classic Macs. It's a menagerie of iguanas, gerbils, pigs, dogcows, tiny swords, and more!
