@thalia I'm jealous.
@thalia I am pretty sure I have that mouse, though, so that helps. ;-)

@elb I thought it was just PS/2, but it's a weird bus mouse, so I'd need to rig up a microcontroller to use it with a modern system. Feels like more work than its worth.

@thalia Oh ... I have one that looks just like it that's serial (I think DE-9, but maybe DB-25, even?). I also have a Logitech bus mouse and the associated ISA adapter board, but I'm pretty sure (without looking) that it's two-button.

@elb I've just got little stuff, but you have several big irons!

@thalia Yeah but cool stuff is cool stuff. ;-) Keep your eyes open and take opportunities when they come up and are practical and affordable. I'm most of a generation older than you; we have to find people in every generation to keep this history alive.

@elb I've started going after the smallest computers, until I have more space. I have a Silent 700 703 shipping, which I believe is the smallest teleprinter model. Also, I want a TRS-80 MC-10 (the smaller Color Computer precursor) and TRS-80 Model 100 or 102 (also small). Oh, and I already have a TRS-80 Pocket Computer 2. So many unrelated TRS-80 models!

@thalia Space is real, too, for sure. The model 703 is super cute, I keep one in my office. :-) I also have a TI serial adapter that plugs into the audio coupler port and contains a modem and line drivers to adapt it to RS-232 on a DB-25 -- I've never seen another like it.
If yours won't feed the paper when it comes, go to an office supply store and get new fax paper for it; the old stuff gets really slick and the old hard rubber rollers sometimes won't feed it, but will feed new paper.

@thalia They're not _quite_ as small, but keep your eyes open for an Osborne 1; they're relatively common (and thus affordable) and very fun.

@elb So the 703 already has a DB-25 connector and would need an external modem to connect to a remote device. Its twin model, the 707, has acoustic coupler, wall, and phone connectors and has an internal modem. I picked the 703, because I wanted RS-232 without any extra hardware. I think you're talking about the 707?

@elb That's the one you talked about in "The Basement" playing with at coffee shops! It's got such a tiny screen, haha.

@thalia My mistake, yeah, I have 707s. There's also a 1200 (or maybe even 2400?) baud 703, which would be fantastic, but the 703 is much less common than the 707 and the 703 1200 baud is even less common yet.

@thalia This isn't my "regular" coffee shop, but here is one such instance. At my regular coffee shop I was hacking the O1 one day and I heard a woman ask one of the owners if he knew what I was doing. He replied, "oh, that's Ethan, he's always up to something." ;-)

@elb That's a huge "laptop"! Sounds like a fun shop.

@elb No idea which baud rate mine is; the sticker doesn't show. I've only seen 300 baud mentioned, so it must be quite rare.

Ho provato a leggere ma non mi sembra ci siano patch. E poi, se è come scrivono perché sul cellulare sì e sul tablet no?

Chi ha esperienza nell'uso dell'IDE CLion per la programmazione in C e C++ (in Linux)?
Lo consigliate?

@emmecola la indovino con una!

@Alberto @uriel "Operazione straordinaria" mi ricorda l'"Operazione speciale" di putin in Ucraina. Serve a non dire le cose come stanno.
E ovviamente era programmata.

Why Medley Interlisp is called Medley.

I'm starting to believe that corporates' push to adopt #AI origins from desperation. They think that newer generations will never dive so deep to match older generations knowledge on base tdchnologies. Take IT: what we look at as a personal hobby, like "retro computing" is all about basics of computing. Find a 18yo that has the same knowledge. If you succeed, he will be *the exception*. If this is true, in 25 years, they will have extraordinary computer systems and infrastructure that nobody, except remaining AIs that learned something today, will be able to manage. And this scaries the shit out of the establishment.
So they try to fllee with the bag full of money today, because "FUCK YOU".
