So 2019? :D If so, I would love to hear some of the comments you received!

At the end of the life of the Model 1, TEK started producing the M1 in Japan for Tandy. Ian Mavric wrote about it in trs8-bit but I can't find the...

I don't watch sports (for longer then I can remember I told myself I want to start following Japanese baseball. Any year now ...). I just discovered...

I wish I could figure out how to squish character portraits into the 12 kB. or whatever allowed for forum avatars here. :)

A bit of a bump on this thread, but probably worth remembering that the auction in question was a UK sale. In the UK although the full classic IBM PC...

I'd just rather drag an Apple TV back to the store if it's broken than my drive-in-theater size TV. Just seems to me that the "smart" features of the...
