So this weekend, I replaced with one of my cushions with bigger, soft, but still firm, and I added back piece, with lumber support upside-down with neck pillow, and now my back feels better, and i can lend back and have my head supported.

And later this week, I will share a new video my final setup.

Thanks again to the kind soul that donated this NABU.

With this new addition to my retro computer collection, along with the previous Yamaha MSX machine, and the ColecoVision/Adam system, and my new bed setup, I been busy rearranging all my equipment and desks and organizing systems, so I can properly use them all to develop on directly.

So I hope to join that elite circle soon and start making some new apps and hardware for this special system as well, since its very similar to the TI99 system, just uses a z80 cpu instead of a 9900.

Now recently, a large number of units were found in warehouse, and amazing developers have recreated the NABU Network using modern Internet protocols, and bunch of new hardware has been made.

This bundle was kindly donated to me for just the cost of shipping and taxes from Germany and is in perfect condition with a printer and bunch of modules, that back in the day was the goto portable way that insurance adjusters and other professionals used to do complex calculations on the go.

The next step is to complete my project in recreating the 4A HexBus interface and coding up some new software for them with possibly some new hardware as well.

But now that I am back in Canada, after lots of bureaucratic paperwork, the government has finally approved me to get my teeth fixed up and to be covered mostly in part by my medical disability.

Another step to getting my health back on track and my life moving forward.

Also what is this heard? Bowser is retiring? Does that mean I can get back to being the one True Bowser again?
