Dang! I knew you've been busy, but seeing that all together real brings it home how busy. Nicely done!

Ha! I prefer "Magnificent" ... It's actually the same as the name of a word processor for TRS-80 computers:

Yeah, we all have regrets, although it sounds like you have more than most in this area. When I was a kid we had a coco2 that I learned to program on as well and a trs80 4d. The 4d eventually went back to a sibling who I think threw it out, and I have no clue whatever happened to our coco2. Then...

Welcome aboard! You'll find many fellow neighbors on here. :)

Very nice! Thanks for the pics. Seeing all of that together brings a smile to my face.

How'd it go?

Thanks for digging that up. Given the project, I've decided it to be more thematic to build a 286 sleeper PC inside of a NES case. Now to source a broken NES... 😂 Fortunately, I expect that to be a simpler and cheaper proposition.

No. I live in Stevens Point

Anybody have an AT case & power supply they could sell me? Or I suppose even better would be if you're willing to sell me a fast (>16mhz 0ws) 286 system? I'm working on building a Gameboy emulator and I'm pulling out all of the tricks to try and get it run on as slow of a PC as I can. I suspect...

It looks you you did it! https://www.wsaw.com/2023/07/19/stevens-point-man-brings-opportunity-once-again-have-blockbuster-night/

I've started branching into the Lenovo era, so that's (no longer) a barrier, necessarily. 🙂

If there are Thinkpads, I probably am interested. Are you looking for Sonys, @Jasper? I have a p-series Vaio that I quite like, but doubt I will find another repurposing for it.

This depends. Not being indexed by search engines makes you part of the "dark web" by some definitions but not by others. Getting a search engine to skip indexing your site is pretty easy (at least for well-behaving search engines). Look up robots.txt for details. If you exclude a search...

One other random observation from my daughter--the old colorful Apple logo is much better than the current "boring" one. :)

It is a Canon print mechanism and it uses the world's cutest ink cartridges. Tiny little things that are only good for 50-75 pages. I don't think the ink is still made but cartridges are still quite easy to locate new in box (model Canon BJI-101). I recently learned that as part of this...

My quest to get all of the various oddball Thinkpads (and a decent chunk of non-oddball Thinkpads) is one step closer to completion. Behold the latest addition to my collection, the 555BJ, a 1993 Japan-only Thinkpad that features a built in printer! You feed paper in the front, as shown, and...

Thank you all. I attended the show with one of my daughters. I've gone a veeeery long time having never seen a classic mac of any sort in person. It was so cool seeing a bunch of them all lined up. The highlight for my daughter was playing Commander Keen on the IBM AT that was setup on the...

I've got a couple of IBM Transnotes, which are mentioned in this video as using the same technology. Unfortunately, I'm a leftie and have never seen a left-handed Transnote, although they supposedly exist. If anyone has one, I'd be happy to trade a working right-handed Transnote for a broken...

I used to go every year, but haven't been back since covid. Unless something has changed, no swap meet type of thing available there. Lots of workshops, vendors, displays, and some entertainment, but used equipment didn't show up much unless a vendor brought it (and never any computers).

The Galloping Ghost arcade is in Brookfield, IL. I've been there and it is amazing! They are the largest arcade in the USA with something like 500 games. It's a flat fee to get in and you play all you want. It's a 3h45m drive from point. Don't know if other WCC members would be interested, but...
