My latest project is code-named "Total Reprint." I ported The Print Shop (1986) to ProDOS and made it hard-drive-installable. Then I made some other improvements, like live previews of third-party graphics and borders. It's bundled with every graphic, border, and font that Broderbund ever released, plus hundreds of other openly licensed graphics that I back-ported from modern artists.Come to INIT HELLO in July for the product launch. <https://init-hello.org/>#AppleII #retrocomputing

MicroTimes (1985): "[They] met a couple of years ago at a party ... They became good friends before they started in partnership to produce software." <https://theprintshop.club/2024/07/26/the-people-behind-the-print-shop/>@LaineNooney, "The Apple II Age" (2023): yeah I interviewed them personally. They were a gay couple. "Both had relocated to the Bay Area ... to explore their nascent identity in what was then a vibrant locus for the gay liberation movement in the United States."Happy Pride! 🌈#AppleII #retrocomputing #PrideMonth

Zara, who did nothing wrong, does not care about Print Shop and has barely noticed my absence all weekend while I was at #INITHELLO talking about Print Shop.#DogsOfMastodon

Lock-It-Up Copy Protection System v5.1C.wozhttps://archive.org/details/wozaday_Lock_It_Up_Copy_Protection_System_51CLock-It-Up was the most popular Apple II copy protection ever. This is the master creator disk you could buy to protect your own programs. It is, itself, protected by Lock-It-Up.Lock-It-Up was the one of the first protections I encountered on multiple disks, 11 years ago. I noticed minor code variations across disks, as if someone had picked options from a menu. This is the menu.#AppleII #retrocomputing #wozaday

This disk is insanely rare. Like not just the usual eBay "L @ @ K RARE OMG A 40-YEAR-OLD SAVE ICON" but like this is the only original copy known to exist. It came boxed and shrink-wrapped with manual and all paperwork intact. (They will uploaded soon.) And as far as we can tell, the disk was literally never booted.........because it was mis-mastered and didn't work.

Side B is supposed to have a protection track on the last track (0x22), but it's missing. Not malformed; totally missing. Like they had a two-step mastering process and skipped step 2. The protection code is there (on side B + caller on side A), and it runs — and fails, naturally — and the game refuses to load.We have analyzed the disk at the flux level, and we've concluded that this is how the disk was shipped in-box. There is no indication that any part of the disk was overwritten later.
