Recently I finally joined the mad throngs of rabid cultists, unshaven hipsters, coffee-shop residents and other people Linux users find REALLY annoying to pick up my first Apple computer, one of the new Macbook Airs. It’s really rather nice, and quite a bit nicer to use and lug around than my battered old Acer laptop.

Since I love customizing EVERYTHING I have, I decided to hack together a nice set of Mac-themed wallpapers, to match my retro computing-themed wallpapers on my Windows PC. They’re based on classic ads, Susan Kare’s prints of her wonderful pixelwork for OS Classic, and old OSX desktops (I’m not happy with my attempts to extend these to fit a widescreen resolution, so YMMV). They’re all 1440×900 PNGs intended to appear at native size on a 13-inch Macbook Air, so if your machine has a higher res screen, they might appear a bit crap.

Don’t worry Windows-ites, I plan on releasing a similar pack covering classic Windows/Amiga/ST/other classic computer OSes soon. Not too sure about Linux, though. Maybe if i get ESPECIALLY bored.

Apologies for the lack of posting. AGAIN. Things have been a wee bit hectic lately. I have a lot to post about though, so hopefully things should pick up.
