Another image done for the cutscenes in the Amiga OCS game I'm working on.
The game really needs to get a name at some point.

“Recap it!” isn’t always the cure.
A badly recapped Amiga 1200 came across my bench, and what I found might surprise you.

Why Recapping Isn’t Always the Cure: And Amiga 1200 Repair Story
I often see on places such as Facebook that an Amiga owner will show a fault they have with their machine, and the immediate response you’ll see is “recap it”. Now, I’m not saying that recapping isn’t...

Ten years ago, I made my first parallax-scrolling ANSI art animation. Today I cleaned it up, made it smoother and added titles and credits.

The original was a user-controllable tech demo I made for my late daughter Jadzia on our BBS, "Guardian of Forever."

I've finally finished pimping my David Braben-signed BBC Micro B+, and it can now run more variants of Bell & Braben Elite than any other contemporary machine ever.

The #BBCMicro B+ is officially the Commander-in-Chief of #8bit #Elite. 🫡

See thread for details.

This reminds me of some 15 years ago when an entire Linux IRC channel helped a guy with figuring out the drivers for an old SCSI HDD that contained all the unpublished writings of his grandma. His only luck was that there was ONE guy in there with real retrocomputing skills that could guide him.

While cleaning a storage room, our staff found this tape containing #unix v4 from Bell Labs, circa 1973

Apparently no other complete copies are known to exist: https://gunkies.org/wiki/UNIX_Fourth_Edition

We have arranged to deliver it to the Computer History Museum

An old reel to reel magnetic tape. It has a label, in Jay Lepreau's handwriting, proclaiming it to be "UNIX Original from Bell Labs v4 (see manual for fmt)"
