I’ve recently come off a long-term role of getting thousands of machines set up and imaged, all day, everyday, all untouched until they reach the facility. In fact, one of this blog’s first posts was about adding in a Synology to the environment. Today I’d like to discuss my technological workflow I deployed in this environment.
We’ve covered a lot of ground in MacAddict. It’s time to pick up some of the remaining “non-magazine but totally magazine” parts of the MacAddict experience.
You know, the things that are really tied to that physical experience of the magazine, just more… deatomized!

Hey everyone, long time no post.
I have a unique surprise today that falls both within and outside the Deatomization project.

It may come as only a minor surprise that someone who endeavours to digitize old Mac magazines would have an old machine as a workhorse. Indeed, many people both online and offline have inquired as to how the process I use works. So I figure I’d write up how the process has worked until now.
With 2015 fast approaching, let’s step back and get 2005 out of the way. It’s a crazy time, and the end of the line in so many ways. Mac OS X 10.4, Tiger, gets released. The last PowerMacs, PowerBooks, and iBooks are released. The first Mac Mini is unveiled – as is the first “iTunes Phone”. The Intel announcement hits us hard right where we knew it would- that PowerBook G5 was not coming “next Tuesday”, that the world had to prepare for another migration… to Intel, quite possibly the most evil of arch-enemies for a faithful fanboy.
