i wrote a 120,000 word book on my experience growing up in the BBS and dial-up internet era, from ~1985-1997

it's chock full of stories about ibm pc and macintosh hardware and gaming

it's going to be published this autumn as an ebook and might get a print edition

but i have a far more stupid idea for it: how about a floppy disk edition with a custom dos/windows 3.1 & macintosh system 6 ebook version

has anyone written a Voyager Expanded Book using the VEB Toolkit in 30 years?

(if you haven't heard of Expanded Books, michael crichton and voyager's team wrote an *excellent* version of Jurassic Park)

is there an ms-dos or windows 3.1 equivalent to VEBs? I swear that back in the 90s someone made ebooks using "Asymetrix Multimedia Toolbook", but i can't seem to find any examples of it

Over the years, I have scoured the internet for various versions of the Mac HIG PDFs. Here is my collection so far.

Some neat ones include HIGs for Mac OS 8 & a preliminary Mac OS X version from the Public Beta.

These HIGs contain general desktop guidelines that still apply today & that you can't find in the modern HIG.

Please retoot! Everyone should read these.
