 AK> I received a Pocket386 today!

 j> I will be checking that out! Cool - thank you!

I haven't gotten back to actually playing with my Pocket386, but I do still have that first impression of "it's pretty neat!"  (just needs a serial port!!)

 AK> For anyone who hasn't heard of Pocket386 (I have mentioned it lately,
 AK> but who listens to me), it's a new small-form factor 386 notebook sold
 AK> on AliExpress.  New old stock - or possibly pulled, as in the case of
 AK> these 386 CPUs - parts are combined with new parts to build a weird
 AK> little retro PC.

 j> I don't remember it, but I also spent a while OFF the BBS's - and
 j> Facebook - and HAM - etc. But now life is settling back into a

 j> 'screentime.' :-)

Sorry about the knees, trouble with knees is rough, though more screentime isn't entirely the worst situation - lots of BBSing to keep up on! :)  I hope you're well and have plenty of time for fun projects.
