Family of Macs (and the Clock works)

As I mentioned, I'd worked on the clock program a little before the Challenge started. My floppy disks came in, so I thought I'd see if the program which ran well enough in vMac ran on a real Plus.

Turns out it does. :)

The picture shows, left to right: my main workstation (a G5 tower), my SE/30, my Plus (running the clock in analog mode), and the Bondi iMac where I've written most of the code. The two PCs under the desk run OpenBSD and Debian GNU/Linux.

The SE/30 serves as a bridge machine -- it has an Asante ethernet card, so it can talk to the iMac and G5, and it can make floppies for the Plus.

(I arranged and turned all the machines on just for this picture -- all six computers running at once is probably not a good idea, electrically.)
