  • RadioShack Tandy 1000-TX was our first desktop… Technically, I think we had a VIC20 for a couple weeks that was hooked up to our TV but it got returned and damn am I glad we got that IBM-compatible, CGA graphics, loud-ass behemoth.

    I can still hear the sound of the floppy drives intializing on bootup. A: was 3.5" and B: was 5.25" and the way they sounded made my 6-year old self so happy. I used to make the noises myself as it came online.

    Years later, when I write this post, I will think… why did I ever doubt my autism diagnosis?






  • Yeah. I agree.

    Cut off your nose to spite your face is not the way to operate, but unfortunately people are not very well skilled in not letting their emotions affect their judgement… and that’s a problem that is worsening under the influence of info-narcotic technologies because it makes us more easily controllable.

    Oh, sorry… that last thought is for the group that meets in in that old abandoned train station building near the bridge downtown.
