@zhuowei Sweet! If you unfocus your eyes and do the “Magic Eye” trick you can see the depth extremely clearly. And yeah the plant is weirdly cut off by the window.

@siracusa Curious if you do a fresh boot with the mouse unplugged, run kextstat, then plug the mouse in, run kextstat again and see if any additional drivers are loaded. The driver could be the culprit.

@foone Funner fact: I accidentally did this with an Electron app. It packaged up my local .env file in the release. Imagine my surprise finding a .txt on my S3 instance from a well-meaning user.

I’ve made an incredible discovery. I installed Monopoly CD-ROM (1995) on my XP machine. It came with a program called WCHAT, a chat client for several Westwood games. Imagine my surprise when it connected right up to the server!Time to install wireshark… (1/n) #vintagecomputing

I installed Wireshark 1.10.14, the last version to support XP SP2. One capture later, and another welcome surprise… Westwood Chat is just an IRC client! The server is 172.31.255.201:6667 (2/n) #vintagecomputing

It’s some nonstandard IRC protocol. mIRC sort of works, as in you can join channels and chat, but no user or channel listing. Supposedly there are 3 other folks connected, but I don’t know how to find them. (3/n) #vintagecomputing

This is the server for https://xwis.net, the official server for lots of Westwood games. And, through a lucky guess, I determined the hostname is, in fact, chat.xwis.netDoes anyone know if this still actively used? (4/n) #vintagecomputing #xwis

@meatlotion I just got an OS 9 box going. Can you recommend a classic Mac OS client? I’ve had trouble finding one.

@meatlotion Understood! So my next question is… any BBSes on the network that are ASCII-only? Trying to connect in with a Mac Plus. It’s very constrained.
