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)

@sidde Wow! Yearโ€™s flying by! Cybersecurity has gotten better, but the error is still humans using the system.

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

Spent hours with Applesoft/Microsoft 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.

@sidde Props for using a real '64... and the handsome 64C at that!

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?

@philpem Thanks. Trying to get Zap working if I understand how to get Zap Fonts working. But StrongED is bundled so will begin there then.

@sidde I vaguely remember ZapFonts going in !Boot.Resources - shift-double-click on !Boot, open the Resources directory, and copy ZapFonts in there.
If not, it may work if it's alongside the !Zap executable. The Filer just has to see it.
There's also !ZapUser - same applies. Stick it in Resources or next to Zap.

~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.
