truly so baffling to me to hear people complain about their electronics like my coworker was complaining that her 2017 Mac was so slow its barely functional and it’s like what do you MEAN your 8 year old Mac is dead? mine is from 2013 and runs flawlessly?? what are you doing to your $1000 machine ??? filling it with peanut butter and TikTok viruses?????

The Apple Jonathan was a highly ambitious, never-released concept computer developed by Apple in the mid-1980s.

The Concept of Jonathan

The goal of the Jonathan project was to create a modular system that allowed users to attach various hardware modules to a central unit, customizing the computer’s functionality to their needs.

At the heart of the system was a "backbone", to which different modules could be connected. These modules would have supported running Apple II, Macintosh, UNIX, and DOS systems, as well as adding additional features like hard drives or network capabilities. The idea was to let users build their own computer setup – much like a bookshelf system, where the modules were like the books.

Why Was It Never Released?

Although the project went through eight months of development and a prototype was shown to Apple’s leadership in June 1985, the Jonathan was ultimately considered too risky and ahead of its time.

Jean-Louis Gassée, then Apple’s VP of Product Development, pointed out that the profit from selling a Jonathan system would have only been about a third of what they earned from a Macintosh II. He also expressed concerns that a DOS module would allow users to completely abandon Mac OS (Macintosh).

Legacy and Significance

Even though the Jonathan never made it to market, the concept anticipated future trends in modular systems and user customization. It’s a reminder that Apple was experimenting with groundbreaking ideas as early as the 1980s—some of which wouldn't become feasible until decades later.

well that was a fun exercise.

i have this old function made for reading multiple bytes in an array as one big number, and not only is it a total mess, but it requires bytes to be passed in as strings in a 0x00 format, which is just... really weird, don't ask me how i landed on this months and months ago

well now i have this instead

instead of messing with converting strings and stuff, everything is numbers from the start, lol. and it can handle little endian if i want! the thing i'm actually using this for is big endian 99% of the time but still, why not. i feel like i learned a good bit doing that. that was fun

whee!

it’s insane to me how macs were always seen as second class pcs but my 2013 mac running on its unupdated os can perfectly run 2023 Minecraft with 200 mods and stardew valley with 500 mods and zero crashes or lag. but my 2019 pc running on most recent windows os can’t even boot up iTunes due to 100% disk space. whats up with that? 😐
