  1. Dear Friends who can still not touch #type let alone thumb type or #spell properly or prettily, without help,

    Yes ye olde #dinosaurs, we have managed to:

    - Change and use varied Operating Systems
    - #Techno inhabit the cyber super-highways
    - #Rebelled against the money #monstrosities
    - Used modern #modems (when they were)
    - Worked in the silence of the night
    - Gone to #free computer shows
    - Bought #floppies in bulk

    Now we are coming to warn you that
    the space rocks are not your friends.
    The mega #monster corps are trying
    to eat your #brains

    What can you do against this do-do?
    1) #Develop #independent and #critical
    capacity from the phone zombie infestation
    2) #Enrich your life not you #dependence
    3) Find lateral, #tangent and diverse friendship

    You are the #meek not the market and this is your #inheritance

  4. Today's pickups at the #fleamarket: an old breadbin #C64, plus #c1541 drive, IEC cables and a box of 5.25" #floppies, on the left another phat #playstation2 ("doesn't work" the seller said: will check what he meant later), on the right an Hitex HT-767 #famiclone (one with discrete chips inside!) plus a Kickle Cubicle #nes cartridge.
    And one of my cats exploring: Cenerina.

  5. I spent a lot of time crimping IDC cables today to finish building my boards. One adapter for the PC-8001 to use floppy drives, and another for the Sanyo MBC-555 to speak RS-232.

    Both these boards are going to be open source: let me know if you have either of these machines and I'll send you a spare board if these end up working out when I test them.
