I don't put them all on at the same time. At most, I'll have three running - just like the bums in Max Headroom:

Re: What monitor do you use?

I've got 25 CRTs in my computer room. (3 more in my living room)

Re: What monitor do you use?

People aren't still throwing out old CRTs where you live? I got this TV last year, free. It just needed a modulator to hook up the NABU. https://forums.nabu.ca/download/file.php?id=88&mode=view I also got this TV free: little guy on chair 648.JPG The squirrel, of course, was free. CRTs are too h...

Re: That new NABU smell...

Some people have said that it's "new computer smell" and that it's "not that bad". I disagree. It reeks! I've opened many many computers, both back in the 80's and NOS stuff over the years. Nothing smelled this bad - and I own an Amiga 1000 that somebody's cats pissed all over. M...

Whew. That's a relief. I'll make sure not to put "Athena" in any chats involving my plans for world domination.

Re: Chat v4.1 updated with GPT

Neat! But, a couple questions: 1. Does that mean all chat text is being monitored by Athena? (to be later used for blackmail purposes, targeted termination, etc.?) 2. Is it like The General computer in The Prisoner where asking it "Why?" will cause everything to explode? By the way, your l...

Re: VCF stream

I'm worried about NABU future. Sure, there will be nice NABU branded flying cars (only available in brownish grey), but it's the NABU AI that could cause problems. Sarah Connor narration: "On December 5, 2022, NABUnet went online. Human decisions were removed from Cloud CPM. NABU became self aw...

I'm hoping the TV isn't too heavy. I don't want a crushed NABU. :D


For the last year, I've been using a 1983 Japanese IBM 4704 keyboard as my main keyboard (USB converted). It has Alps SKCC switches, just like the NABU has.
