Hey. Hey. I'm insulted. I don't say things like that, and I don't think the 'typical' user does... but the ones who do are the most vocal.

dbraverman88: This particular machine has a whopping 24k of RAM. The game is currently about 1k, I think. I've been saving data to my EEEPC through the mic and headphone ports(emulating a cassette tape system, but much more reliable) If I can get null-modem transfers working properly (currently...

1) Because I feel like writing a new one, and TADS is quite large. Plus, it's a Tandy 100. The only languages available are BASIC and assembly, and I can't code assembly. 2) BASIC.

I like Linux and in the interest of not getting into a flamewar I'm not going to comment about some of the issues raised, but II2II's story amazes me. Why in all hell would the devs make it not compile because it had a BAD LICENSE AGREEMENT? I mean really, this is the kind of thing that not...

I was out at a local horribly priced computer store, selling one of my overstock computers(thus negative conquest ($200 for a computer worth 150! Woot!) and decided to go to the local overstock store, Ollies. Ollies is an awesome store for certain items, and I was looking around in candy when I...

Sweet find. 'Grats.

Nowhere else to post this, so here goes: Well, having entered in the second week of the RetroChallenge with only a vague idea of what I was going to do, I've finally actually gotten some work done on my Challenge. I've been furiously coding at my Olivetti M-10, and I've finally gotten the bugs...

I have an uninstalled copy of Warp 3 lying around... I'm going to go install it now.

Augh. No amount of work will make this thing connect to any of my other computers! I even tried making my own null-modem cable after the RadioShack one didn't work(according to the page at http://www.club100.org/library/doc/cables.html) and nothing has worked! Been trying to use Teeny... I'm...

Uuuurgh... Unfortunately, yes. I have tried to load from cassette. It was horrible. Eventually I said screw it and recorded the cassette tape onto the computer - that worked much better.

Hmm.. I know a bit of BASIC, I think I'll make something cool in BASIC for the Tandy 100/Olivetti M-10.

Sweet, been looking for more BBSen to connect to on my Olivetti.

This had a very nice plastic shield around the batteries - in no area did the chemicals actually get to any of the boards. This was helped a bit by the fact that it was laying on its back, so the chemicals were oozing over the battery door and not into the machine guts.

OK, taking pics now. Will update when done. UPDATE: Pics at - http://picasaweb.google.com/486box/Olivetti And something special: geocities.com/geckoboy2424/hi68k.wav That is a recording of a textfile saying "Hi 68kMLA" that was saved to tape.

Bunsen: You can normally find these cheap on Ebay when they pop up... I saw one go for $35 a few days ago. If you're lucky you might be able to find one at a flea market.

Well, several months ago I was digging through my dad's office looking for some wire strippers, and I came across a stylish leather rectangular case. I opened it and found something that looked more or less like an electric typewriter. I put some minor effort into fixing it(it wouldn't turn on)...

Well, I've been using an ASUS EeePC running eeeXubuntu(2gb RAM, 8gb SDHC) as my main PC for several weeks now - before that a desktop (Athlon64 3500+) running various versions of Ubuntu and Debian held that position. I haven't had any problems thus far, though Ubuntu 5.04 was a bit annoying to...

I could have sworn that Debian supported Old World PPC machines(I know they support 68ks)

An unsurpassed issue of strangeness has come up. I have not even considered turning on my main computer for two weeks. The only other times this has happened was on vacation and when I randomly reject computers entirely during the summer. I wouldn't have known it, but apparently I'm fully...

Er... Reinstall? Boot into safe mode? Nice conquest though, what are the stats?
