Today, I used a Macintosh machine and found all the fonts in the \System\Library\Fonts folder. These are easy to copy across to a Linux system and put into the ~/.fonts folder to use on a Linux system. This was very easy. Pity the screensavers would not work. But this is where to find the fonts. They are in ttc format, and ttf. They would work fine on a Linux system. All of the icons on a Mac are stored with each application, there is not a \System\Library\Icons folder at all. Every application you install has its own icons and they are in the application folder. This is different from Linux, which has an icons folder where all icons go. But this is something interesting to find out is it not? Screensavers on a Mac are in the \System\Library\Screensavers folder. But screensavers such as Flurry are available in the XScreenSaver distribution anyway. So this is how to use it on Linux. The only thing I hate about a Mac is having to use the fn-F5 keyboard shortcut to refresh a page, this makes using Midnight Commander on a Macintosh computer very annoying. Why do I need to use the fn key to access the function keys?
This is a very annoying feature of all Mac computers. This is the way they do things though. The way applications are installed using the Applications folder is a good thing though. But Linux has more freedom than Macintosh computers. The Apple IIe was fun to use though. And the TRS-80 computer. This was the time when you would get programs in magazines and type them in to run them. Using the BASIC programming language. The IBM XT computers allowed many upgrades. like the Quadboard pictured above, this allowed up to 384 Kilobytes of RAM to be installed, this plus a serial and parallel port. What an amazing upgrade. This would be good for gaming. Byte magazine from 1976 contains a lot of circuit diagrams to build a television display. This was the day when you would build your own devices and do your troubleshooting instead of purchasing a cheap device from Temu. A Sphere corporation computer from 1976 allowed purchasing a kit to assemble your own computer and begin programming. Actually writing your own applications. Amazing. The computer hobbyist scene is still around though with the rise of small board computers that allow the construction of embedded devices. So this is a good thing.
