       | I don't understand- in what sense is this "1 bit"?

       | This site design is one of the best retro Mac site designs I've
       | seen. The author really nailed the pixel perfect fonts -- it
       | looks perfect on my low-DPI and high-DPI displays.

       | If anyone's interested, there's an active HyperCard community
       | with some fun projects. There's a Discord server, too.
       | https://hypercard.org/
       | 
       | I found that community through the Avara community, a port of the
       | classic Mac multiplayer networked mech shooter from Ambrosia:

       | Also, if you're into retro Mac stuff or just want nostalgia, the
       | Infinite Mac project is amazing. You can run all the major Mac OS
       | Classic releases right in the browser, you can drag and drop
       | files from Macintosh Archive or Macintosh Garden onto the window,
       | and you can even create an AppleTalk network between browsers:

           | Internet archive is your friend here. Yes very much so,
           | especially if you can get the book Zelazny based the story
           | on.

           | That story rules, as does the collection it's in (Frost and
           | Fire).
