Web Site Info:

CED Magic is a personal website and is not affiliated with RCA, which ceased to exist as a corporate entity in 1987. The website intentionally has a retro appearance as it is HTML 3.2 and Macintosh 68K compatible. I have every 68K Mac model and want a website that can run on these machines that have Motorola 680x0 microprocessors. Macs with 68K processors were made from 1984 to 1996 and can run web browsers no later than Internet Explorer 4.0.1, Netscape Navigator 4.08, and iCab 2.9.9.

This website continues to be authored in BBEdit on the Macintosh IIci at left in the picture below. This was the high-end Macintosh model in 1989, but this is no ordinary IIci. It has a Daystar 40MHz 68040 accelerator, 128 MB of RAM, a 4 GB hard drive, and a 1600x1200 video card that alone went for $5,000 in 1994. In modern terms those specs don't sound like much, but they are insanely great for a 68K Macintosh. For more info visit the 68K Macintosh Liberation Army.
