Finishing off an update to my BeebMaster Econet clockbox. The new lid makes it look a lot more professional. Mine is a gen-1 with the PCB mounted in the lid, so I've had to make a 3D-printed PCB holder for it. Easy!

Even though I'm currently unemployed, & I stopped bidding on #retroConputing hardware, I just had to on this one.

I'd see it arrives but it was the one machine on my bucket list for almost 40 years.

I won't say what it is until I get it, but fsck, hopefully I've finally got one!

To me this one is the holy grail, enough said

@moorejh Makes me wish I stil had the old #Apple2e! Sigh I love having windows to multi-task and for reference. But I truly miss the text mode days of single tasking, where you simply couldn’t get to point of not being able to find something three of four stacked layers. It appeals to my #ADHD brain too. #RetroConputing #ActuallyAutistic

I am LOVING that shirt! But to be fair, I’m way older than that shirt. 🤣 #RetroConputing mastodon.social/@muzej/1120509

Some of us remark about the speed at which consumer devices become “ancient,” but we spotted these in an actual antique store just yesterday!

This could easily be one of these new screen and software driven cars sold today, but a scant 6-7 years. I’m quite happy with my 18+ year old car. I have no faith car companies understand software or can magically maintain and support it properly.

Thinking that the next thing to go in the demo screen could be bobs. A metric shit-ton of bobs. I’ve got an old routine for that.

Or maybe some more scrollers. Turn the scrolltext up to 11. I’ll see where things take me.

Oh the feeling when you find a Compaq LTE Elite 4/75CX Laptop in its case while tidying up the room and you had forgotten you even had it. And then it still works! And it has some DOS games on it!

Better post something by Commodore 64 related cause it’s in my name…

This is my REU, I bought it a couple weeks before Sonic came out so it didn’t destroy me financially to get it! #Commodore64 #retroconputing
