Scrapbook under the Mac OS is a small Desk Accessory which enables users to store images, text and sound clippings. It was included in the original Macintosh system software in 1984 with the Macintosh 128k, and was included throughout every Mac OS revision until Mac OS 9.
Use the Scrapbook to store a variety of text selections and pictures which may be transferred between applications. Using the edit menu, Cut or Copy and item from the scrapbook, then Paste it into an application document.
Café Mac, should not be confused with Caffe Macs the Apple headquarters cafeteria named after the Macintosh, and completed in 1993.
The Calculator appeared first as a desk accessory in first version of Macintosh System for the 1984 Macintosh 128k. Its original incarnation was developed by Chris Espinosa and its appearance was designed, in part, by Steve Jobs when Espinosa, flustered by Jobs's dissatisfaction with all of his prototype designs, conceived an application called The Steve Jobs Roll Your Own Calculator Construction Set that allowed Jobs to tailor the look of the calculator to his liking. Its design was maintained with the same basic math operations until the final release of classic Mac OS in 2002.
The original calculator was a reminder of Steve Jobs' esthetic compass throughout the classic Macintosh era, even after his absence. Now that Steve is gone, and the Macintosh operating system is on a accelerated development cycle how long will it be before the last reminders of Steve's taste are overwritten with something new?
> Use Font Mover to add fonts to the System file (for use in applications) and to remove fonts from the System file (to free up space on disk). In the early Macintosh System software fonts were data stored on the font file's resource fork and not actual files. It took a special Font Mover application to move them around. > It is a good idea to keep a backup copy of the System disk with Font Mover and all of the fonts. Have you ever tried to backup your system disk with only one 400k floppy drive and 128k of memory? A recipe for [Disk Swapper's Elbow](http://www.folklore.org/StoryView.py?project=Macintosh&story=Disk_Swappers_Elbow.txt) if I ever heard one. > Fonts occupy a significant amount of disk space. Removing unneeded fonts, as well as the Font Mover, leaves more room for your documents. A touch balancing act when you only have a 400k floppy disk to work with. Most early Macintosh users kept their fonts on a separate disk and moved them around as needed. Just remember fonts with a * beside them are required by the system and cannot be removed. > If you want high quality printing, don't remove the doubled size of any fonts you want to print. For example, to print high quality documents in 9 point Geneva, be sure that 18 point Geneva is in the System file. This is because even the lowly ImageWriter dot matrix printer can print at twice the resolution of the original Macintosh display.
A number of different variants of each font were algorithmically generated on-the-fly from the standard fonts. Bold, italic, outlined, underlined and shadowed variations were the most common, though some applications also included subscript and superscript.
Outline, shadow, and underline are not always supported by modern software and fonts.
On this screenshot you can see which Fonts are loaded onto the system because their point sizes appear as outlines in the Style menu. Point sizes not included had to be algorithmically generated on-the-fly.
The Original Macintosh operating system included several fonts, each named for a world class cities.
With the sole exception of Bill Atkinson's Venice typeface, the fonts included with the original Macintosh were designed by Susan Kare, who also designed most of the Macintosh's original icons.
The Macintosh was an early example of a mainstream computer using fonts featuring characters of different widths, often referred to as proportional fonts. Previously, most computer systems were limited to using monospaced fonts, requiring, for example, i and m to be exactly the same width. Vector-based fonts had yet to make an entrance in the personal computer arena, at least for screen use, so all the original Mac's typefaces were bitmaps. Fonts were available in multiple sizes; those sizes installed on a system would be displayed in the font menu in an outline style.
Silicon Beach Software was an early developer of software products for the Macintosh personal computer. It was founded in San Diego, California by Charlie Jackson and his wife Hallie. Jackson later co-founded FutureWave Software with Jonathan Gay, the company that produced the first version of what is now Adobe Flash.
Airborne! was the first game for the Mac with digitized sound. Who can't remember the digital rendition of Ride of the Valkyries at the game's splash screen.
