Is there an image of this online somewhere? Seems like there oughta be, but I can't find one. Do I need to break the seal and take it out of the book?

Follow to watch me organize and maintain old computer gear, and maybe do some geeky-cool stuff with it. https://hello.jkretrotech.net #retrocomputing #vintagecomputing
Anybody else collect stuff over the years, then have difficulty making time to actually use and enjoy it all?

No one has ever arjed their files harder than I arjed my files back in the day.
I wish you all could smell what I'm smelling right now. It's amazing. #maplesyrup
This is what my hands look like during maple syrup season. After a scrub and shower, they will look the same. It'll be weeks before they get back to looking like my normal computer geek hands. 🤪
I spent the whole day in the woods alone and freezing my butt off while boiling sap to fill just 6 bottles with maple syrup. It was a great day. When the syrup season is over, I'll get back to nerdy stuff. (yes, I fill old whiskey bottles with syrup. It's just for me/family/friends)
We're smack into the middle of #MARCHintosh and these poor Macs aren't getting any love. Look at these neglected little ones stuck on some bottom shelf behind some random junk. Is this a felony? #retrocomputing
Remember computer books that were 1000+ pages long? I'm reading this book now and I'm feeling so F@$#ING POWERFUL! GRAAAGHHHH!!!! #dos #retrocomputing
Casually browsing through the book Digital Retro by Gordon Laing. A wonderful coffee table book showcasing some popular computers from the late 70s through 80s. I like it a lot even though it glosses over the Coco for some reason! #retrocomputing #books
Dear you... You're a lovely person. I hope you had a very nice day.
Not a single human being asked for it, but I coded a small C program in msdos Borland C++ 3.1 to take in MIDI signals and reroute it to the PC speaker. Some sort of polyphony is next on the docket! youtube.com/shorts/u...
Just added to my starter pack and now it is maxed out at 150 people. That's a lot of fine retro computing folk. go.bsky.app/MG7Hn9r #retrocomputing #vintagecomputing
I often get stuck when trying to solve the NYT word puzzles because I forget to use the incorrect American spelling of many words. My American friends, why do you hate the letter U ?
Imagine that it's 1983 and you invented a new, breakthrough, affordable 8-bit home computer. What would you call it? ... and why? #retrocomputing
Trying to decide what I want to play this weekend. I think I've narrowed it down.
Another very well researched and high quality video by @oldskool.org !
Trixter@oldskool.org · last yr.After months of work, I'm happy to release my documentary featurette on a very rare DOS sound card (how's that for niche?): youtu.be/Eeo4INoGyRY If you have any friends who are into DOS sound cards, the Apple II, music on personal computers in the 1980s, forward this to them; they might like it.
I have a Macintosh Portable carry-case which does NOT contain a Macintosh Portable and because of that, I suddenly has a sad. Also, it's clearly meant to open this way up, so why did they place the Macintosh Portable label upside-down? #retrocomputing #MARCHintosh #mac
Desperately seeking suggestions for the best Solitaire or Mahjongg games on all retro systems. Preferably with screenshots. #retrocomputing #retrogaming #appleii #c64 #amiga #atari8bit #atarist #mac #ti99 #msdos #tandy #coco #speccy #acorn #msx
When I'm feeling a lot of anxiety due to external forces, I find it helpful to play Solitaire or Mahjongg. Finishing a game somehow feels like I'm bringing order to chaos. Essential therapy. I've been playing a lot of Mahjongg lately. So. Much. Mahjongg.
