I’m a very old computer programmer. I started on 8bits and I’m still going but with 56bits more now. I wrote a few games and now sort of still do. I've got a cat called Dusty. I try to walk at least 5km everyday and take random pictures as I go

She's very impressed

The weekend just got better my Sony XBOX 5 Pro turned up. OK it's a Mister Multisytem2 from @heber-limited.bsky.social. I can't wait to try it out when I get a minute. The quality of the 3D printing on the case is amazing. Bannana for my lunch or scale 😂 The cat would have preferred a bigger box 😿

Fan down 🤣. You see some strange things abandoned on the street when you are out for a walk

Look what I got. I didn’t need it but i really wanted it. We all need more Linux in our lives. The cat also got a new empty box to sit in, so she’s happy too. This was supplied in record time by the @thepihut.bsky.social #raspberrypi

I had a "Steer-N-Go" when I was a child in the 70's. It was our GTA

I wish Raspberry PI would release a faster Pi Zero W with more RAM and USB-C power. I wouldn't even mind if they used micro HDMI and got rid of the mini HDMI. I love the form factor but all seems a bit dated now @raspberrypi.com

Just saying the Commodore 128 was the best
Computer I ever owned or was it the best three computers I ever owned. The 128 and an assembler was a brilliant dev machine alongside in many was equal to the Tatung Einstein

I found an Xbox. No idea what this is part of or why it was sitting on a wall. Odd things you see in #Lichfield #xbox

I'm amazed how good these have been

Back when I was young I had a friend who had an Organiser II which he used to write programs OLP or OLPC, it's been a long time. He upgraded to the one with a number pad on the right of the screen and then a Series 5 which was really cool. So many happy memories. I'm staying off ebay now

You'v got all the cool toys. I'm so jealous

Guess where I was? This appeared in Beacon Park but the visitors will probably like it. #lichfield

@multisystem I've just preordered a Multisystem2. How many sleeps is it before it arrives 🤣

No Tomb Raiding today :(

An update. Pimoroni customer service was excellent and they replaced the Presto in a matter of days.

One of those odder tech support questions I got asked was "can I disable the touchscreen". Are Microsoft having a laugh? I can disable the trackpad in Windows 11 but not the touch screen. This is the user friendly way they suggest to do it so that's a non starter for most users. Any ideas?

While waiting for somebody to process my ticket at Pimoroni. I thought I'd get the C++ boilerplate built, after some messing about with branches on my new Pi500. I got it running but it's still the same.
