Yesterday, I was lucky to be able to spend a couple hours at the Connections Museum with Sarah Autumn.

I had a stupid grin on my face the entire time!

Even after a couple hours, we just barely scratched the surface of what's there. It's unbelievably awesome.

Me and Sarah at her favorite spot in the museum. This is used by technicians to diagnose and fix issues within the switches.

This video phone works and is from 1970! Needless to say it was a huge flop but you could make video calls.

You can use the floppy drive to play songs, but this clicking sound of the Amiga that Adrian mentioned is another thing retrocomputing.stackexchange.com/questions/17...

Why does an Amiga's floppy drive keep clicking?

I seem to remember that an A500 (probably A600 too) would keep emitting a click from the floppy drive. I think this was only with no disk in the drive, but I'm not sure. What was that?

Hard to believe that this version of Celso in 2019 ever existed 😅

One of the things I miss from working in a big telco is access to a retro computing museum, where you could pick stuff up for free that they would otherwise have to dispose of, at cost

Como é que é possível que o site do Registo Predial Online ainda não tenha a freguesia do Parque das Nações na lista nos formulários, impedindo-me de pedir uma certidão? Apoio telefónico está quieto, mais de meia hora a ouvir que me atendem em menos de 5 minutos. Desesperante.

Happy birthday to the MOS 6502! It was 50 years ago today that people were able to buy their first samples of the chip from a jar in a hotel room at WESCON.

Here's my oldest 6502 from the 52nd week of 1975. Still works perfectly!
