Another post about G4 12" events from ~20 years ago.

a late November evening of 2005. With a "larger" antenna and standing on a mountain to the north of the city.

I used an antenna made for point to point "broadband" connections.
A bit on the larger size than the popular "pringles cantennas" people used to make.

(Funny to think about that I ended up with a work in Cybersecurity a few years later)

OpenEmulator.app is a great #AppleII Emulator. (https://openemulator.github.io/)

Spent hours with Applesoft/Microsoft #Basic last evening and been playing Oregon Trails over and over again since then.

And all the software and magazines from Asimov's Apple II Archive will take a lifetime or two to go through.

How do one spend Holidays? With the of course!

Playing those tunes for everyone to enjoy. Also a good time to explain to the younger generation of kids how few characters you can store in the memory of the computer.

All posts can't be about computing! Because my life the last half a year has certainly not been about such devices.

Kira is now a 7 months old . But 5 months ago we drove a few hours south to pick her up. This little floof on the picture is from when she arrived at our home, 8 weeks old.

She's a and loves being outside this cold winter. Days like this with temperatures below -25c is just a joy for her.

Last year I got a from my spouse as a birthday present. It's such a fantastic little machine. Running it natively and maybe the last generation of machines that does? Now with 64bit only Pi5 etc.

Anyhow. I need to explore this OS more and especially BBC Basic which is built in.

Is there any recommended software like particularly good IDE etc. for on RISCOS that I should use?

@kiwa on them is fantastic and on pair as the most highend as MacOS9 experience gets. And the amount of software for MacOS9 is huge and easy to get hold of via Macintoshgarden and MacintoshRepository.

Some of my posts in here is about the experience of MacOS9 on . I can recommend the journey of fiddling about with some nice old software and think about the 90's. I had some fantastic months of entertainment with it the last years.

~15 years ago I worked as a manager and . Some of the more interesting decommissioned servers got a second life with me.

This with 8ร— III CPUs and 64GB RAM and maxed out with hard drives.

Used it as a home Lab on 10. But eventually my home hadn't space for it though and it was relocated to a friend.

So this is another post about the hardware I regret not keeping.
