A vintage advertisement for the "KEY-EDIT" data preparation system by Consolidated Computer. The main image is an overhead view of an office setup with multiple red chairs and compact computer workstations arranged around a large, orange and white central machine. The headline reads, "The incredible reducing machine." Various text bubbles highlight the system’s benefits, such as reducing job turnaround time, verification needs, errors, elapsed time, floor space, data preparation costs, and equipment problems, as well as reducing personnel turnover. The KEY-EDIT system promises to minimize data preparation problems, improve efficiency, and save space. Contact information for Consolidated Computer in Boston, Toronto, and England appears at the bottom

Feb. 16, 1978 -- forty eight years ago today -- the first public dial-up bulletin board system or BBS went online.

Wired: "1978: Ward Christensen and Randy Suess launch the first public dialup bulletin board system. The two unleash the kernel of what would eventually spawn the world wide web, countless online messaging systems..."

I got my first modem in the summer of 1986, a Prometheus ProModem 1200A (modem on a card) for the Apple II. The first BBS I logged in to was OxGate, an RBBS/RCPM system the phone number of which I still can remember (my earliest BBS software -- firmware-based on that modem card -- had no phone book). I used BBSs avidly until sometime in 1994, when I subscribed to a local ISP's (Widomaker of Williamsburg, VA) dial-up modem-based PPP service that brought TCP/IP to my 486 PC with Windows 3.1. I could then browse the web from home, and that was basically the end of BBSing for me -- for the moment, anyway.

For those interested in experiencing this early form of online community, there are many BBSs online right now, accessible via telnet on systems old and new. I've enjoyed getting back into BBSing this way, especially when using vintage systems to login.

Most any computer can do it, today. Tips on how: https://bytecellar.com/bbsing

Well what do you know – The Electronics Flea Market (EFM) has moved back to Saturday mornings and if you park in lot 2 it is free. Looks as we get to share the campus with the farmer’s market, so I get to peruse fruit & veg for the week and get my nerd on. Hopefully I will find another security appliance from a vendor I do not have yet for my test rack in the garage.

The first date is Saturday March 14, 2026 at West Valley College in Saratoga, CA (south bay area): http://www.electronicsfleamarket.com/

See you there!

#stupidprojectoftheday I bought this #vtech #Kidizoom digital camera with built in thermal printer from a charity shop for £2 (ish?)... i would kind of like to either upgrade the camera... as its a kids toy it isn't great... or try to convert the printer to USB for #linux or even #serial to work with #retrocomputers... i have no idea where to start or how to do it.. but putting it here may make me feel like i should do something with it.., lol...

edit: spelling

Compute!'s Gazette has an article about sound cards for the Amiga, and it mentions the Amiga Real SID Player Zorro II card by Christian Bauer. It allows playback of SID tunes on an Amiga using a real SID chip through DeliTracker.

This got my interest, but in looking for info online, I just find years old Amibay listings. Is this an old, no-longer produced card? The magazine didn't mention as much.

Are these for sale somewhere?
