Walz: If you say you love freedom but you don't believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love is not freedom, it is privilege.

It's a game of cat-and-mouse as MacUser rolled onto shelves for the first time in 1985 with purrfect timing to ride the Mac wave.
A scan of the cover of Mac User with a Apple Mac with a blue-tinted paint program open and a sharp-pixel image of a close-up of a cat's face on the screen. Powered by MacLevitation, a mouse hovers in front of it close to the reader's face.

The sooner we stop relying on America the better. As much as that pains me to say. But their leadership clearly do not share our values.

While the Dragon was designed and built in Wales, a licensing agreement with a New Orleans company meant that you could get the Dragon 64, new in box, until 2017, making the Dragon 64 perhaps one of the longest market stays for any micro.
The box for the Tano release of the Dragon 64. A fairly simple breadbox up top on a vaporwave grid, underneath the rainbow Dragon logo; below are pictures of a grown man at a spreadsheet, a grown woman at a database, a boy playing chess, and a boy and a girl playing some grid based two player game.

Amiga Lagoon by Jim Sachs - a stunning 256-colour image created in Brilliance.
An image of an Amia computer semi submerged in tropical ocean in an island bay, the monitor on a marble plinth from which a waterfall cascades from the screen. All manner of colorful fish, a toucan, and a flamingo can be seen too.

The BBC Micro was a multi-core computer. They just didn't tell anyone! A test mode accidentally triggered in 2020 revealed the existance of this second core, with its own instruction set and ROM, the ability to bypass the firmware, and may have revealed some 50-year-old corporate espionage...

I don’t know who is real anymore. Most LinkedIn and Facebook suggestions look like AI profile photos. I trust no one right now.

My Discord client, Discord Messenger, now runs on Windows 98! (And also, 95, but you need extra stuff. Win98SE runs it right out of the box.)

Using Rosanne OS on the Amstrad PcW16 this morning. Amazing that a machine with 1mb ram, 1mb rom and 16hz processor could get the job done AND is y2k compliant! Machine did crash NOT in 2025!
