Re: That new NABU smell...
I've had the NABU sitting out for a year now and I thought the smell might have disappeared or lessened, but... I just picked up the keyboard and took a whiff. I nearly choked. It's just as smelly as when I took it out of the box. So that prooves it. It's not just the "boxed new comptuer smell". It ...

Re: Another Retro Project - the Osborne 1
I'm surprised they knew what a mouse was. Isn't everything touchscreen and touchpad these days? In a few years, the kids will say, "You mean you actually have to touch the screen? Where's the eye scanner or brain interface?"
As for the 5" screen, I've got a 1" CRT that I once connected a TI-99 to ...

Re: Another Retro Project - the Osborne 1
Anyone around with advice for it?
You know what would be really cool - is if you ripped out the guts and made it into a fish tank.
I'm kidding, of course. I hate when people do crap like that.
That's a small screen - way smaller than on my Kaypros. You should get a Blade Runner-style ...

This is your last chance
After this, there is no turning back
You take the blue gnome
The story ends
You wake up in your bed and believe what you want to believe
You take the red gnome
You stay in NABU land
and I show you how deep the rabbithole goes.

Re: New Old User
Rescued our Apple II Plus in the process. Having fun with that in addition to the NABU.
My Apple II Plus went "missing in action". It never showed up after a move. The movers tried to claim it was never in the shipment. But... why did I have the Apple II drive and joystick?

Re: New Old User
Nice picture. I don't have a single picture of me back then at my computer - maybe because I would have said to anyone who wanted to take my picture, "Get lost! Can't you see I'm busy?"
I remember wallpaper like that. It always drove me crazy - as if it's one of those "spot the differences" quiz. I ...

Re: Vintage Computer Festival (Leo, Brian, and DJ)
Funny that you also remember the icon. I really disliked having to use it. Having a pc at home, the icon felt prehistoric!
For me, it was primitive, but not prehistoric. It was 1986/87. I'd never used a networked computer before - and never had the thrill of hacking into somebody's account ...

Re: Vintage Computer Festival (Leo, Brian, and DJ)
I just watched the whole video. For some reason I kept thinking DJ was on the ISS. Maybe it's the zero-gravity hair. :mrgreen:
Nice to hear the Burroughs ICON mentioned. I used the first version ICON in grade 11 computer class. I managed to bypass the primitive security and get access to all the ...

Re: NABUTALK - NABU speaks!
What an odd game. I don't know what the hell is going on there.
