Che figata, un progettino che emula l'interfaccia di win95/98/me all'interno del browser con alcuni giochi di un tempo (doom, quake, ecc) sempre emulati. Da provare sul pc, sul telefono non rende bene.
In July 1982, "market analyst" Chris Christiansen told the press that Osborne Computer Corporation would "continue at about an 80 percent annual growth rate in the next few years" and praised CEO Adam Osborne's genius.
Fourteen months later, Osborne Computer filed for bankruptcy. Christansen told the press it was all Adam Osborne's fault. He "completely misjudged the popularity of the IBM Personal Computer and the enormous effect it would have on the market."
Funny, you'd think a market analyst would have seen that coming, especially since the PC had already been out for a year when he predicted that a small, rapidly growing startup with an inexperienced CEO would somehow lead the market against one of the largest companies in the world.
@reidrac nos trae este estupendo arcade para #Commodore64 lleno de acción, buenos gráficos y estupenda ambientación general.
Como tu mejor amigo el orco Orc hace dos semanas que no pasa por tu casa a tomar el té llegas a la conclusión de que algo terrible tiene que haberle pasado. Así que coges tu espada y decides ir a buscarlo al «Mundo de Mágica» donde nada es lo que parece, ni siquiera tu que eres un afable goblin.
Tendrás que recorrer los 5 niveles hasta saber qué le ha pasado a tu amigo.

Anyone got any experience connecting a Sinclair ZX Spectrum Interface 1 RS232 serial interface to either a Raspberry Pi's serial pins or another computer via a USB-serial adaptor? How many volts does the Interface 1 put out? What does it expect / tolerate as an input? #ZXSpectrum#RetroComputing
At 8pm BST tonight, I'm resuming my series of streams playing through all the #Amiga Power magazine coverdisks on #Twitch. We pick up from issue 20 (December 1992) - things get a bit, er, seasonally inappropriate briefly.
Plenty of fab demos and PD games to come including more scope to cause a diplomatic incident like this one last time round... check us out at https://twitch.tv/NAG_Graham and join our lovely community!
TODAY IN 1985: Warner Communications paid $17.5 million to settle the last in a series of shareholder lawsuits alleging that Warner's Atari, Inc., subsidiary withheld information about its financial losses prior to the collapse of the North American home video game market in 1982-83.
Meanwhile, Atari Corporation, which Jack Tramiel created after acquiring the home computer and home video game assets from Warner, announced it would skip the upcoming summer Consumer Electronics Show in Chicago. There were rumors that Atari was having problems getting its promised 520ST--dubbed "the Jackintosh" by the press--ready for market.
Tramiel later changed his mind and Atari did book space at CES. Not only did Atari show off the 520ST it also displayed a prototype of a proposed $500 CD-ROM drive developed in conjunction with Gary Kildall's Activenture, Inc. (The Atari folks can correct me, but I don't think that CD-ROM ever shipped.)
「 Broadly speaking, the PARC researchers set out to explore possible technologies for use in what Xerox had tagged “the office of the future.” They aimed to develop the kind of computing hardware and software that they thought could be both technologically and economically possible, desirable, and, perhaps to a lesser extent, profitable in about 10 to 15 years 」

My thanks to the bidders and buyers of the charity listings I had on eBay to benefit the fantastic Retro Computer Museum in Leicester. £41.40 was raised from the "scammer return" cartridge + smaller donations from other items.
Found my AMD Duron 850MHz from way back when! Remember when CPUs came as flip chips on a ceramic square with no additional protection? :) #retrocomputing#AMDDuron
#VintageApple and #RetroComputing friends, I'm looking to buy 48 (which probably means 56 or more) Samsung KM41256-15 RAM chips to fill up my Applied Engineering RAMFACTOR Rev A board (1986) and GS-RAM board (1987).
Does anyone know of a reputable vendor for these chips?
I would like to fully populate these two boards for use in my Apple //e and Apple IIgs (respectively).
Does anybody out there have a SCSI-to-USB adapter? I'm talking with somebody in the Internet Achive #discord and they have a circa-1991 SCSI hard drive (looks like a 50 pin model) that they want to image and archive.
「 To Raskin, our human needs revolved around text. We want to write (in text), crunch numbers (text, again), communicate (yup, text), and code (esoteric text, but text all the same). That was the most you could expect of computers in the ’80’s. Three decades later, it’d still be the rarest of days if you touched a computer and didn’t interact with text at all.
Computing for the rest of us, that’s what Raskin set out to build 」

Alternativa sarebbe quella di montare la CF su windows, copiare le cartelle del setup di ms-dos o windows e poi lanciare da lì i setup dopo l’avvio del overlay disco 🤔Indovinate? Non ho un lettore CF in giro 😅 se mi rompo le balle saluto l’overlay e installo in nativo su soli 504 MB (che a metà anni 90 non era affatto poco spazio btw)…overlay disco usato: OnTrack Disk Manager, scaricabile dal buon https://www.philscomputerlab.com/ una delle tante risorse del mondo #retrocomputing e #retrogaming
