@amateurjustin Because I don't use Twitter much. V5 is in the trash, V6 is the new hotness. Being beta tested right now. Uses a better chip and has a micro SD card slot! Same price.

They are for sale right now I just haven't advertised it yet or updated the store listing and photos.

@ActionRetro1 @vcfederation At the art exhibit I was shown a computer generated image from 1989 by Harold Cohen.

This was not a pre-defined image. It was was output from an AI program called ARRON, created by Harold in 1973.

This image is called Jungle Scene.

@RetroTechChris BTW I never got that zip drive you sent me working. I am bringing my Dell Latitude which has the bay for it. Did you want me to return it to you, or want to troubleshoot live?

[The Old Net @theoldnet]

@ObsoleteSony Unreal Tournament. Straight up, launch day my buddy and I waited in line for him to buy the PS2. We went back to his mom's house, hooked it up to a C64 monitor, played split screen UT deathmatch for countless hours. My best memory of the PS2 hands down.

@twjetpax @tindie I know what you mean, Blue LEDs weren't even invented until 1992. But it's built into the chip, had no choice in the matter.

[The Old Net @theoldnet]

@RichBettridge @vehikl @ActionRetro1 Thanks for the update father!

[Richard Bettridge @RichBettridge]

I gave a #lightningtalk at @vehikl, demonstrating a #webserver and #filesystem on an #esp8266! I recently added features utilizing this on my Serial to WIFI Adapter for #vintagecomputers.

Used @ActionRetro1's https://t.co/gRPSfh3XgT in part of the demo

Woah, @LinusTech used @theoldnet in a video, with a clearly visible little button to everyone's favorite frog-themed retro search engine - https://t.co/pUpEyNi9mI!

We've made it, friends!

@timberners_lee can you tell me when the birthday of the World Wide Web is? I'm getting conflicting info. Is it the date you drafted the original proposal? Or is it the date it went live? Or is it the date it was made available to the masses? When do you celebrate its anniversary
