October is here!
October brings out all the spooky scary skeletons who love to listen to music and dance around the cemeteries. And with Halloween falling on a Friday this year, you better start preparing your sounโ€ฆ

I asked for a 4mb memory upgrade as my high school graduation present (1994) brought me up to 8mb and I thought I was in the big leagues.

32mb in a 486. You are living the extreme in 1995.

Makes me sad. When we started we had a good relationship with the Director and then it changed with the new person.

In the neon-lit corridors of a VCFMW, two retro computer nerds were on the verge of solving what seemed an impossible puzzle. One night, they disappeared without a trace, leaving behind a mystery that would baffle experts for years. This is the story of Ron and NotRon, the phantom Mac restorers.

I knew it needed some work but I was pretty sure the lcd worked. When I was working on it it just wouldnโ€™t get through POST sometimes. Itโ€™s a great laptop. One of the few with wavetable sound.
