Hello from Johannesburg, South Africa

Hello!

Just received my NABU, successfully made a cable, and connected it to the Internet Adapter on a PC. Novice and enthusiastic vintage PC collector here. Have the NABU set up in the living room as intended and thanks to it I discovered that my girlfriend has a sentimental attachment to Tetris. So, word to the wise, owing a NABU is good for your love life.

Welcome!!

I'm an ex pat from Durban myself. Living in new Zealand now.

Glad you're enjoying Tetris.

Have you seen my demo of invaders yet? Drop the file into your c:drive and give it a go.

Might be easier on the D: because it’s dynamic

Lol you got it!! Did you ever hear the saying “you got it Pontiac”? It’s a North American car slogan from the 90s or maybe even 80s. Not sure if Pontiac made it that side of the pond

Nah we never really had them in seff efrika. We had fords, the German brands opel, audi, Mercedes VW and bmw. Then all the japanese brands. But very few American other than ford.

I also remember Renault being quite popular and minis and rovers and the odd broken down landrover :D

Might be different now days though. My experience of south Africa ends in 1998.
