I’m telling you, they’re not dead yet.

Some people give me the gears when I tell them I play MP3s and listen to streams on my Newton using Mad Max. Some simply shake their heads. Others spit and shuffle and then move on. For those of you who can actually fathom the reasons I enjoy using old technology to do new things, there’s this little gem called MpegDec. If you’re playing MP3s on your Newton, you sure as hell may as well play them on your 68K Mac as well, right? Right. And while your at it, maybe it’s time to consider loading NetBSD on those old Mac II boxes piled in the basement. Vintage hardware clustering, anyone?
