This site design is one of the best retro Mac site designs I've seen. The author really nailed the pixel perfect fonts — it looks perfect on my low-DPI and high-DPI displays.

If anyone's interested, there's an active HyperCard community with some fun projects. There's a Discord server, too. https://hypercard.org/

I found that community through the Avara community, a port of the classic Mac multiplayer networked mech shooter from Ambrosia: https://github.com/avaraline/Avara

Also, if you're into retro Mac stuff or just want nostalgia, the Infinite Mac project is amazing. You can run all the major Mac OS Classic releases right in the browser, you can drag and drop files from Macintosh Archive or Macintosh Garden onto the window, and you can even create an AppleTalk network between browsers: https://infinitemac.org/

Internet archive is your friend here. Yes very much so, especially if you can get the book Zelazny based the story on.

That story rules, as does the collection it's in (Frost and Fire).

I’ll have to find that, rather I used IA to find the back issue of the magazine it was published in.

I don't understand- in what sense is this "1 bit"?
