#Meshtastic #bbs #meshbbs is setted up. Is it a good idea to blast it out via MQTT? lets see.

Sometimes I‘d like to have a time machine to bring one of the demo disks to 1978 and secretly place it into chuck peddles PET, just to watch his reaction „How is that possible?“

Yay! The main #PCB for my MOS #KIM-1 replica arrived today from #JLCPCB! The sub-boards seem to fit. Bringup will take awhile since there's a gross chip-pin-numbering error on one of the smaller boards and I'll have to re-fab it. But I'll be able to partially assemble it and test a few things.

My KIM-1 replica, affectionately named "KIM-1000". An all surface mount version based on the original 1970's schematic. I attempted to add a Cyberpunk-ish style to the edges.

Everybody knows that you love me baby
Everybody knows that you really do
Everybody knows that you've been faithful
Oh, give or take a night or two
Everybody knows you've been discreet
But there were so many people you just had to meet
Without your clothes
Everybody knows

Everybody knows that the boat is leaking
Everybody knows that the captain lied
Everybody got this broken feeling
Like their father or their dog just died
Everybody talking to their pockets
Everybody wants a box of chocolates
And a long-stem rose
Everybody knows

Everybody knows that the dice are loaded
Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed
Everybody knows the war is over
Everybody knows the good guys lost
Everybody knows the fight was fixed
The poor stay poor, the rich get rich
That's how it goes
Everybody knows

@bbswordle.com Hey alexander, I have a minor problem in bbswordle (dos) that my september scores are not being calculated. The log.dat looks good, does it take one day to be shown or did I find a bug ?

Was there a Rockwell KIM-1? A myth or? Yes and no.
There is a KIM-1 by Rockwell in 1977.
No, it is a MOS Technology KIM-1 PCB.
Rockwell added documents with Rockwell title pages and contents 99% MOS Technology.
The Rockwell KIM-1 is just an OEM product!

Does bsky plan to use monospace fonts? But you can post pictures of ascii art. It‘s like having a photo of some Banksy decorate wall. ;)
