                VintageApple.org Archives the Early Mac Universe

   Adam Engst

   During my Talk Show podcast appearance with John Gruber (see '[1]Four
   TidBITS 30th Anniversary Podcasts,' 11 May 2020), we ended up talking
   about various Macintosh periodicals and books of yesteryear, with
   Gruber recalling his first letter to the editor of MacUser in 1994.
   That prompted listener Steven Kowal to share [2]the actual reference on
   Twitter, after which Brendan Shanks chimed in to provide links to that
   issue of MacUser and the second edition of my Internet Starter Kit for
   Macintosh. Both were on [3]VintageApple.org, a site I hadn't previously
   seen before. It's an amazing resource, with full magazine collections
   (in PDF format) of Macworld, MacUser, Byte, and Softalk. It also hosts
   over 500 vintage books about the Mac, Apple, and programming. Best of
   all, it's completely searchable! (I've been unable to resist revisiting
   all my old columns.) If you have even a passing interest in the history
   of Apple and the Macintosh, check it out!
