Sorry my mistake. Didn't even think of the 8. But now I'm going to have to get one of those too.

Those PiDP-11s are so cool. I got myself a 10 a few months ago and once I get a chance to build it I'll be onto the 11.

I've had Beebs since the 80's. Still have one and an electron and a few Archimedes machines but I've never actually seen an Atom in real life. I'm in a Tandy phase just now but I'll be coming back to the A's soon enough.

I don't have a PSU for mine so I'll probably take the leap and buy a set but I did read on another site the Hunter 16 also has an 8 pin socket and gets power via that. Might need to research more. Be nice to find some service manuals.

Has someone found a stash of Huskys? There seems to be a few websites with info on them. www.google.com/search?q=hus...

The first picture makes me cry. Nothing to do with the computers just how painful it would be for me to be on my knees like that.

www.theeprom9.co.uk/home has a bit of info about the Huskys but generally overall the documentation is lacking for them. First time I used one was to control an Agema infrared inspection scanner back in the early 90s and I'm pretty sure the small 4pin connector was for power.

Count me in. I've got an FS/2 and two Hunter 16s that I need to sort out.

Has anyone ever won a court case? I don't think it's a thing in the UK or not in a big way. Watching someone being tazed is so funny.

I'm sure I read years ago that gates was going to do this. Think Warren Buffet has a similar plan but I'd love to know how much both have paid to charity and the taxman over the years.

Isn't this what he did with insulin? Biden brought it down and as soon as he could trump cancels it. I'll never understand why they voted for trump a second time.

I'm from Scotland and currently in Scotland and even I know that. How have so many people in the US administration got to where they are and have no idea how their own country works? I feel sorry for the American people but I have to say keep it up you're giving the rest of the world a great laugh.

When I see all these kind of things being posted I'm glad I live in Scotland. We have our problems but nowhere near as bad as the rest of the world.
