My brain is having a lot of trouble processing this amazing picture

The cap with the ‘84 date code on it makes me feel my age!

These things were damn cool though

A … cd burner emulator?

The scope trace has me intrigued

If you had been around when the Apple /// came out, you’d remember it almost putting the company under

Maybe I lived in Texas too long, but my immediate reaction was “I’d expect that refrigeration would be needed”

“Hey, cool ecli*sklork*”

But the eclipse would look pretty cool, wouldn’t it? (Or is my understanding of gravity even worse than I think it is)

I really needed a good chuckle and this delivered. Thank you!😊

Thank YOU, Mr. President. Your voice continues to be a source of hope and leadership

Dulles has shown a demo model of their “mobile lounge” which allows passengers to bypass the dreaded “mid-field terminal and correctional facility” at only a $349 add-on fee. Plus tax.

Ooh. Is that one on the right the shuttle from the Nostromo?

First rule of avoiding wake turbulence is to stay above the glidepath of a heavy. And now you tell me putting my Cessna down on top of a ‘67 is a problem? I mean, why tell me “caution, wake turbulence” in the first place?? Also, can I get the air stairs? It’s a larger drop than I expected.

For a long time, the first thing I have done with a work-issued device is to set the screen background to monochrome, usually black, and disable most of the gui “features” that look cool the first time, but add absolutely nothing to function.

This and digital audio tape, they hamstrung themselves, I suspect because the interest in their media properties made them put so many speed bumps on adoption of technologies

“In the event of a vegan seat mate, your fingers may be used as a nostril-blocking device”

@marthawells.com the casting on #murderbot is amazing. Have loved Skarsgård since seeing him in Generation Kill

That power supply does not look like any that I put in when I was repairing them - they were a yellowish color. Didn’t have that.. whatever it is over the power connector either.

Heat wasn’t a huge issue on the II or II+, even with language card, videx, cpm card and two fdd adapters 🤷‍♂️

I can’t be certain but I *think* I played one of them at an arcade in NY circa.. 1972-ish?

I like my feed of old computers and cat pictures and awful puns and I make judicious use of the keyword filters and “show less of..” (though I admit I don’t know exactly how that last one works)

Would love to see one and try it out, but that price tag and the battery.. I’m probably stuck with my slightly beat up switch for now
