I was honestly watching Hogan's Heroes when I saw this news a few minutes ago, too.

Another #VintageComputing / #RetroComputing #MysteryBox. This is going to be a fun one. I put some white foam on top to cover up some handwriting that would identify its contents.

And here it is. The "Saga 1 Emperor". A 48k #ZXSpectrum in an aftermarket, full-travel keyboard enclosure.#VintageComputing / #RetroComputing / #Sinclair #Speccy / #Saga1Emperor

It was made by Saga Systems of Woking. You simply removed the top half of your #ZXSpectrum and attached the bottom half to the Saga 1 Emperor.

@mos_8502 I was really irritated by the pivot to Aqua. I wanted the Platinum interface.

@mos_8502 Speaking of GNUStep, I'm still hoping someone will backport its Terminal app to OpenStep so I can have a proper ANSI color terminal on my NeXTstation.

Today's #ThriftStore find... A #Comrex CR-6500 composite monitor. When I first saw it, I thought it was an Amdek Color-1 but, no. It was clearly made by with the same Hitachi molds as the Amdek, though. #VintageComputing / #RetroComputing

@paradroyd @siliconundergro I kind of regret not getting one when they were still reasonably priced.

@Aviva_Gary She's such an affectionate clown but she makes a bad first impression which has made it very difficult to get her adopted.

Due to a poorly designed HVAC system, my office is always way colder than the rest of the house so I was starting to suspect something was wrong when I felt warm in here today. I checked the thermostat and the house was 6°F warmer than the set temp. It showed that the AC was running but I went outside to check the unit and there was no sign of life. Thankfully, a trip to the hardware store for a $7 fuse is all I needed to get it back up and running.

For nearly 5 years, I've been trying to figure out what this adapter is supposed to connect to. It's still a mystery. Someday, the right person is going to see this post and they'll finally solve this puzzle. #VintageComputing / #RetroComputing
