The proliferation of adverts and paid subscriptions on streaming sites are making it unusable. Might as well go back to burning CDs onto your laptop.

Just preparing my Amstrad PPC640 for the 2024 Canberra Vintage Computer Exhibition / VCF Down Under, and it turned out that both floppy drives are cactus. Thankfully old mate Gotek saved the day. Crisis averted. vcfed.org/vcf-down-und...

Have you listened to the latest ChinnyVision podcast yet? No co presenters laughing like hyaenas, no craft beer plugs, no adverts. Sadly however I have let myself down this time with the delay before the guest speaks. 16 seconds. Sorry about that, must do better. www.podbean.com/eas/pb-mjw43...

Here's the latest episode of the GrumpyOzRetro pod. Not sure when the next one will drop, but hopefully the delay won't be quite as lengthy as that between episodes 5 and 6.
Available here, or wherever you get your pods.

I'm sure a few refugees from Retro Twitter recall chatter a little while back about a rare Indian BBC Micro clone called the Hope Dolphin a little while back. Looks like the dude who tweeted about it has made good on his promise to get it into a museum. www.computinghistory.org.uk/det/69901/Ho...

Gotta love my fellow ZX Spectrum Next KS2 backers. So many are losing their minds because they have to wait a week or two longer than backers in mainland Europe. After waiting for over 3 years, what's another couple of weeks?

What better way to celebrate the BBC Micro's 42nd birthday than to write some BBC BASIC that will run on an Android or iOS device? arstechnica.com/gadgets/2023...
BBC BASIC remains a remarkable learning tool, and now it’s available everywhere
42 years later, there's still work to be done in spreading the BBC Micro gospel.
