@Tali My Adafruit Macropad arrived yay! So list of upcoming holiday vacation projects now includes PyPortals, Macropad, and a 7" touchscreen that's been sitting on my desk for a few months. I can't even remember why I bought that one. I also have a Braincraft module lying around 🤓 #Adafruit #PyPotal #CircuitPython #BrainCraft #HolidayCodingProjects

@adafruit
I should've posted this on your TRS-80 day.

My (family's) first computer was a TRS80-compatible Dick Smith System 80.

For a printer, we had an actual mechanical teletype with an interface box driven by the audio output.

I upgraded the RAM from 16kiB to 48kiB by stacking more chips on top of the existing ones, with IIRC chip select pins bent up and connected to some extra logic.

@adafruit

Could someone please ping @ladyada for me? I sent her a message, but I'm not sure she checks her Mastodon account.

LinkedIn wanted to take a picture of my face to allow me to log in, so I'd prefer to not use LinkedIn to connect.

I'm planning to start a FOSS / FOSH nonprofit company to create accessibility products for the blind. We both worked in the MIT Media Lab at the same time. She's a hero of mine, and I was hoping to get a few cycles of her time, if she has a couple to spare. I'd really appreciate it. Thank you!
