I was gifted this amazing latchhook embellished pillow from a long time supporter and friend. I cannot imagine all of the hours that was required to make something so beautiful. I am at a loss for words. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
No idea what type of computer this is. Who could even begin to guess.

I was on a podcast! I had a great time talking to Ron and being absolutely incapable of staying on topic for any length of time... as all good conversations go!
Dude does great interviews. Check out his back catalogue. Some great stuff in there.

If you're a fan of classic adventure games, you've no doubt watched a @spacequesthistorian.com fair and balanced review of a vintage Sierra On-Line title. Join Ron and The Space Quest Historian for an interview that should prove to be interesting and little #NSFW!

Been a dry spell at the flea market recently - but a family member fished this Compaq tower out of bulk garbage for me. Shame it is missing the drive bays cover door, but looks to be unspoiled and even has FireWire ports.
