    Online Vintage Gaming?

    So we stick @Phipli on a boat in the middle of the Atlantic to splice into the under-ocean fibre and run an overclocked, centrally located Q3A server. Done. Hope you got your sea-legs mate 😜

    Online Vintage Gaming?

    Yeah figured time zone scheduling may be a challenge but worth the effort IMO. As for ping times and latency, I figured an East Coast US server would be most central for NA/European playing if one is available. Is is worth even trying between the two continents? I really have no idea what...

    Online Vintage Gaming?

    Might have been a similar map for Unreal but I was definitely playing Quake 2. This was the only game I ever played on the Internet back then, never played Unreal. Quick update on our little gaming endeavors. @LaPorta and I are going to test out the Q3A update process and do a POC game among...

    Got a Macintosh! Now What?

    Or the logical thing to do after getting a vintage Mac is to join a web forum and complain about why your typing preference is absolutely correct and anything to the contrary is dead wrong 😜

    SillyTinySCSI - Smallest SCSI emulator! (ZuluSCSI OSHW)

    Yup, several reboots, multiple drive volumes, and copied over several gigs of data via Appletalk over Ethernet. All good and stable. I'm using a 32GB SanDisk Extreme

    Got a Macintosh! Now What?

    What's equally fascinating is we still use the QWERTY keyboard layout which was deliberately engineered to limit the top end of human typing speed.

    Got a Macintosh! Now What?

    That's how I was taught by my mother who was a professional secretary trained in the 60's.

    Oh yeah learning by doing is much more rewarding. I think I need to just familiarize myself with basic electriconics knowledge...like what a capacitor actually does and such. The Velleman kits look cool, again underscoring I need to learn soldering

    Maybe I should have spent more time with this when I was a kid. Was an awesome learning toy though! I think this was the actual kit I had.
