About SystemTalk

SystemTalk explores computer systems design.

Our first series, A Macintosh History, covers the early Macintosh and draws from MacUser magazine. What was it like to own a Macintosh in the mid-eighties? How did users and developers adapt to the graphical user interface? If you’re new to the series, start at the beginning with A Macintosh History 85.10 (October 1985).

If you have any suggestions or corrections, please get in touch with @WillFlux or join me in the lounge of the 68k Mac Liberation Army.

I also write about FPGAs and hardware design at Project F.

PS. SystemTalk is on a break, but we’ll return in October 2023.
