@NanoRaptor ZX81 -> IIe -> TRS-80 M100 -> Heatkit ‘286 -> ?? 386 -> Mac SE -> Sun 4/440 -> Sparcstation IPX -> Centris 650 -> PowerMacs 6100, 8500, wallstreet, tiBook, G4 MDD, G5, T1, a blur of whatever -> TRS-80 M100 (aspirational)

@ChuckMcManis You would prefer maybe ExpenseTool? Or the xview translation XExpenseTool? Either of which just ended up failing to produce an email composition window in MailTool??

The https://t.co/FHnPO0mq7s Arduino-based Altair8800b really looks excellent, doesn’t it? Flat paddle switches and LEDs behind the panel. Sweet! About 2 hours of soldering, and it worked first time.
