Classic Mac's OS file system innovations (resource forks, metadata) were often lost in transit on the Internet in 1995, and the same is true 30 years later with Infinite Mac.

I found a workaround using modern macOS's built-in .zip archives – a brief writeup: blog.persistent.info/2025/09/infi...

Another demo is my Infinite Monkey: infinitemac.org/monkey/

It lets OpenAI's or Anthropic's computer use models control an emulated Mac, based on your chat instructions.

This means that it's possible to run @simonwillison.net's "draw me a pelican riding a bicycle" test in 1984's MacPaint 1.0.

Infinite Mac can now be embedded into any website: infinitemac.org/embed

For a demonstration of what this can enable, see @aresluna.org's amazing "Frame of preference" article: aresluna.org/frame-of-pre...

Mac OS X was released on this day 24 years ago. On this anniversary, here it is on the web: infinitemac.org/2001/Mac%20O...

(technically 10.1, but that’s the first release that actually worked acceptably)

Infinite Mac now has a “Macintosh Garden” drawer that allows one-click loading of any of the 20,000 items archived by that site.

I wrote up a brief post with some behind-the-scenes details: blog.persistent.info/2024/11/infi...
