It's super fun digging around in all the file shares!

[@RetroTechorDie]

You got that right!

[@stoo]

Thanks for sharing. So excited about getting my IIci up and running (original owner with original boxes) up and running now!

[@DavidStahlOLDHAPPyMACs]

Very Cool Mike I will have to get my Quad 605 on global talk

Fun summary!

I'm originally from NH, Wolfeboro area north of Lake Winnipesaukee! In NJ now. Glad to find your channel!

[@RetroTechorDie]

Greetings from Seacoast NH! Glad you found us!

[@EricsEdgeVideos]

Cool overview! I plan on modding one of my current games for two player AppleTalk support.

[@RetroTechorDie]

Can’t wait!!

[@majinshinsa]

I was afraid of viruses running unchecked but I'm happy to hear you got that figured out! Seems like a blast of a system and I hope it continues

[@RetroTechorDie]

When you think about it was bound to happen. When I first connected my LC was using the original HD with “maybe” the first install. So who knows what all is getting connected and shared.

W video🔥🔥

[@daviidfm923]

When setting up globaltalk was there any consideration using a Network based VPN using routers / switches to prevent these machines from being publicly accessible on the internet?

[@RetroTechorDie]

Yes, one of the dangers is for it to work you need to know IPs of the other users. Which is why it’s still pretty closed to the public now. I know there are some people working on ways to open it up with out compromising your own network safety.

Has anyone tried some classic AppleTalk games like Bolo or SuperMazeWars?

[@RetroTechorDie]

Yes! There are some games already and people are trying more. I just upgraded my LC to 10 MB of ram so I have enough to join in too.
