What is MARCHintosh & Getting Started!
With the success of such events as DOScember and SEPTandy, why shouldn't the Macintosh retrocomputing community have their own month to share their passion for classic Macintosh computers?
MARCHintosh has been an exciting online event since it's creation in 2021. We're excited to continue this tradition every year!

And that's where you come in...

We're asking that content creators from all communities and platforms - even folks who don’t normally produce Macintosh retrocomputing content - work together to help spread the word about #MARCHintosh - a month-long event starting on Friday, March 1st 2024.


"Who can participate, and what media / content platforms are welcome?"
Anyone, anywhere! We really need to do our best to cast the net as wide as possible to attract community engagement, so wherever you showcase your content is the perfect platform to get the word out. YouTube / Instagram / Facebook / Mastodon / Twitter / Podcasts / Twitch - are all welcome!

"What sort of content are you looking for?"
Since #MARCHintosh is all about Macintosh retro-computing, we'd really like to see content focusing on the 68K/PowerPC era of classic Macintosh hardware. Got a great idea about showcasing all the changes in MacOS leading up to the release of OS 9? I'd love to listen to that podcast! Have an idea about Apple’s official clone program and how to upgrade these machines to use modern storage solutions? Film it! Been meaning to create a blog post about Macintosh retrogaming in Classic mode under OS X, or do a reaction video of your kids playing Marathon on your restored Mac IIfx for the first time? That sounds exactly like the sort of content we're looking for!

"So how can I help?"
The easiest way to help is to share the hashtag #MARCHintosh in the weeks leading up to the kick-off. Then if you're able, commit to producing at least one video / photo diary / podcast episode (or whatever your speciality is) using the event's theme, artwork, and hashtag during the month of March - the earlier in the month the better to make sure we have a strong start.

"May I collaborate with other creators?"
Absolutely... The whole focus of this event is to bring visibility to the Macintosh retrocomputing community and what better way to do that than to make some new friends and share your passion for the topic with other people just excited as you are!

To summarize...

Let’s Do This!
Again, we really appreciate your interest in joining us on this journey… and if we’re successful, we can make this a regular event.
