Special Thanks to our friends:
-A family approaches Jerry about retrieving data from a
Mac SE. The story has some depth to it outside of the
technical.
-Jerry gets an assist with the Emu, which behaves exactly like a
real disk drive, requiring no special software or drivers: https://www.bigmessowires.com/floppy-emu/
-A tool available in Windows to view these files was http://a2ciderpress.com
-Another win was an online file converter called http://convertio.co
-Joe had some anecdotes about older Mac computers and accessories
he had in high school.
-WWJD (What Would Joe Do)?
-TextExpander was proving to be troublesome for Jerry and he was
given an interesting workaround involving Mission
Control.
-Some other tools we like are Keyboard Maestro and Alfred
-Jerry puts Joe on the hot seat about taxes. Joe actually has a
story to tell about dealing with the IRS.
-Are chicken coops tax deductible?
-Pro Tip - fast.com for speed tests.
-Joe recommends Proton Mail for secure email communication.
Especially for data at rest.
-mail-tester.com is recommended by Proton Mail to test security of
your email messages.
