I corrupted my old setup and then the MacBook went boom so this time I decided to take the easy route and install EasyAraMint. Which is kinda excellent!! Sorry the video is a little fuzzy but there is more info here: https://ataricrypt.blogspot.co.uk/2017/05/easyaramint.html

1) Mac Mini autoboots as a virtual Atari computer.
2) I use "scp" to transfer a file from my main computer onto the Atari and it's a famous picture!!
3) Then, I show how zView can open PDF files by displaying AtariCrypt Magazine.
4) Next, we have some tunes - MP3s and MODs
5) Then I load up Doom. I could have just double-clicked it but I thought a larger window would work better with my wobbly recording!
6) I next view some pics and it's not I realised I should have copied over some interesting ones from STatariART!!
7) Finally, we're on the web and I loaded up the Hatari website and then Atari-Forum which (typically!!) loaded slow and displayed almost instantly when I wasn't recording!!! :/
8) I did plan to show a few more apps because EasyAraMint is loaded with 'em but I was running out of space and this video took up almost 1GB...maybe next time!!
9) Oh and now there's a glimpse of my old (2007'ish) Mac Mini. It can only run Snow Leopard (nothing newer) plus it only has 1GB Ram and a 1.5GHz CPU 32bit single-core CPU. So it's a slow Mac but it loves being a fast ATARI :D
