  1. Oh nice, a customized Model M... wait, for HOW much?

    *squint* Oh, nicely done.

  2. Amigas continue to be sanely priced, as you'd expect.

    I found one of these in a thrift store in the early 2000s. Video Toaster, keyboard and mouse, everything except maybe a monitor. I was vaguely aware of Amigas and the Video Toaster at the time, so I wanted to grab it to mess around with... but I was too lazy to go to the bank or an ATM to get the $40 cash it cost, and it was gone the next day.

    Dumbass.

  3. On the free pile, something I never would have imagined existed: a Snap-On Scribe II, a (presumably) dot matrix printer. Clearly this one has been well used in its life. Going by Snap-On's general pricing, this must've cost more than a house back in the day.

  4. I saw this DEC InfoServer 1000 and my mind went instantly to "classy as shit Greaseweazle omni-enclosure." No budget for that kind of thing at the moment, sadly!

  5. Even with a... not-great keyboard, there's something so right about playing Tetris on a Soviet computer.

  6. How does hosting a church on Sundays to the exclusion of computer history events further the mission of the Computer History Museum? It fucking sucks as a venue for VCF West now since it’s restricted to Friday and Saturday. #retrocomputing #vcf #vcfw
