Hi! I&#x27;m creating the microdesktop collection as a visual history of the Macintosh user interface, using 51x34px, 1-bit pixel art drawings.<p>They showcase key parts of Macintosh interface design choices, in just 1734 pixels (10 times smaller than the original Macintosh screen resolution , as it was 512x342 pixels)<p>Each microdesktop comes with historical notes and sources (Check the hicetnunc pages)<p>You can check this twitter thread for updates: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;juliendorra&#x2F;status&#x2F;1441005487986708482" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;juliendorra&#x2F;status&#x2F;1441005487986708482</a><p>And read more about the last microdesktop (&#x27;microdesktop: hello&#x27;) historical background here: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;juliendorra&#x2F;status&#x2F;1445776391278981140" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;twitter.com&#x2F;juliendorra&#x2F;status&#x2F;1445776391278981140</a>
