1969: When turning on the computer involved turning a key, checking oil levels, flicking 10-15 switches, and paging the boys in the generator room.

From BBC’s Tomorrow’s World, Feb 1969.

@exQUIZitely Second track sounds a lot like Body Electric from The Sisters of Mercy (1983) https://t.co/MUU8bv1T0i

The Steam Deck is clearly more versatile than I could have ever imagined. I can already simulate, control, visualize and program my robot using it.

This legend at the #OHS26 KiCAD workshop proved that you can also design PCBs on it. Crazy.

A great read!

[Official Commodore® @commodoreofcl]

Massive thanks to our friends at @tomshardware for their fantastic review!

"Commodore 64 Ultimate is a love letter to a time when 1MHz and 64KB of RAM were enough to power your world. Those of us who love old computers will lap this up, and rightly so. It is a seriously good system that provides a platform for retro gaming, retro homebrew, and video game preservation."

@hackaday The Amiga keyboard and its processing apps lived in the shadow of the Atari ST. I had both and the Atari was my choice for text processing and DTP, with the Amiga there for fun and pixel painting. Both rocked with Audio Sculpture for .MOD music making.
