Highlights

Draft Standards of Conduct

Code of conduct published for member comment — direct response to the Pi Governance Crisis 1989. A constitutional/structural step toward preventing recurrence.

The Color SE/30 — John Willis

Color SE/30 — modifications adding color to the SE/30 compact Mac. Notable in early 1990 when most compact Macs were monochrome.

Hard Disk Hygiene — Robb Wolov

Defrag/optimize primer — hard disks growing past 40MB demand active management.

EdSIG returns

After dormancy, EdSIG reactivates — likely reflecting renewed K-12 engagement.
