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...

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...
