Using software written in 2026 (by @colin_mcmillen) on a computer released in 1983 to extract digital photos from a digital camera released in 1994.
Apple QuickTake 200 connected via serial to my 128K enhanced Apple IIe (video output via composite to CRT and to LCD via VidHD video card) with "large" volumes mounted via CFFA3000 flash storage card.
The 640x480 camera images (JPEGs) are decoded and scaled for display in the double high-res graphics mode at 560x192 monochrome pixels. Just lovely.

One of the lovely prints by Melissa Barron that I brought home with me from INIT HELLO 2026. A portrait of an Apple IIe adorning my Apple IIe.
Original is acrylic on gessboard.

SO HAPPY tonight!
LG has discontinued the DualUp LCD display ( 28MQ780-B ), it seems, sometime in the last 12 months or so. It is a 28-inch "4K"-class monitor that is nearly square, 2560x2880 in resolution with a 16:18 ( = 8:9 = 4:4.5 ) aspect ratio.
I have this display and it is the best display I have ever used in my life. I use it rotated 90 degree on the Mac, running in a "HiDPI" mode that is effectively 2304x2048, scaled. It looks amazing and is perfect for my needs.
I have used this as the main display on my Mac Studio since 2022. I always intended to buy a spare for when this one dies, but I missed the chance, so I setup an elaborate real-time monitoring system on eBay that has been alerting me the instant one appears on the site. They often go for twice retail or more.
This weekend one appeared that was local, and I talked to the seller and he told me it had only 490 hours on-time (which I've since verified), is flawless, and would meet me for pickup. He actually dropped the price and we did the sale outside of eBay. I paid about $200 over retail.
But, now I have a backup! My square, UNIX-perfect system can live on well beyond what it might otherwise have.
Bizarre source of excitement - but I'm so happy right now.

It astonished me that there exist no 32 or 32 inch curved OLED 2560x1440 ("2.5K") displays being manufactured -- at all.
All of that size and curvature are 4K in resolution.
I don't want to use 4K (or pay for such a display); it's 2.25x as many pixels and it's not nearly worth the huge extra load on the GPU, in my opinion -- and I have an RTX 5080.
Hopefully one will eventually emerge, but we will probably be seeing 8K versions of the aforementioned first. 🙄

Looking for a different monitor use case, I happened to notice the LG DualUp display is available at far less places than it was a year or two ago...
LG confirmed in product site feedback that it is still being made -- in a 5 month old post.
This might be time for me to grab a second one to keep waiting in the wings. Best display I've ever used in my life (center, 2560x2880 8:9 aspect display (rotated 90 degrees in accompanying photo)).

PSU replacement arduous but complete. Might add the GPU after the feast.

Hardware acquired. Upgrading the gaming PC ( Ryzen 7 7700X ) this morning, and moving from Windows 10 to Windows 11 along the way.
Mainly for No Man's Sky.

Happy International Amiga Day!
(It's father of the Amiga, Jay Miner's birthday, which some observe as such.)

My newly dual-headed Atari 520ST system.
I've had this 520STm 4MB color setup for some years now, but recently expanded it, as I had long been wanting to.
I've just added an SM124 (very sharp) monochrome 72Hz 640x400 display (switching between it and the SC1224 RGB display with a MonitorMaster switchbox that I acquired new about 10 years ago for this eventual purpose). I also have just added an ACSI2STM SD card-based HD emulator.
The stand is an A520 STation, which is a fairly rare item (I've never seen another in use).

Powering the Apple //c with a 15v source and a bespoke USB-C power adapter.
This //c has been setup in more places than any other system I own. Here is the latest, atop a small shelf system in the Byte Cellar.

I bought the requisite switchbox about 13 years ago, and finally today found and ordered a clean looking SM124 paper-white monochrome CRT monitor for the Atari 520ST, from eBay. (Shipping in original box with original foam, so it seems possible it will survive the trip across the U.S.) (Knock on wood)
It looks like there's JUST enough room atop this A520 STation to fit them both, if I move the HxX2001 into one of the (disconnected) drives' spots in the stand.
I had both an SC1224 and an SM124 on my original 520ST setup back in 1987.
Will post some pics when it's all setup.

Am I the only person in the world who bought Sony's "Horizontal Stand for Playstation 2?"
They also sold a much more popular Vertical Stand. The system looks so much nicer with that blue front foot when its in horizontal orientation, as mine is (shown).

@lymang As I state on my list page, the Apple IIgs and Amiga 2000 were the two favorites of all of the computers I've owned.
And that's saying a lot.
