@tomjennings I remember reading about it in Byte. It really extracted the most value from a PC.

@tomjennings Boy, I had so much fun at the Black Hole. Yes, it would be a great basis for a museum!

@LibrarianRA After Ford learned that killing a planned number of people because it made financial sense was a bad idea,the Pinto, especially the wagon was an amazing value and fun to drive.I rented Pintos from a place within walking distance of my condo called "Rent a Wreck", when my car was in the shop. I really liked them. They felt like the best kind of "cheap as chips" cars.

@tomjennings I completely agree that we have lived in times of wonder. I very much miss the early days with Byte, Dr. Dobbs, 8 bits of fury and Okidata printers. I loved writing in assembly and Tiny C. I loved reading about new innovations and coding or soldering stuff to make things.I'm a developer now, and use AI and my amazing Macbook Pro with gazzillions of everything.But I miss the Z80 in my Kaypro 10 that David Kay gave me out of the trunk of his car. Turbo Pascal was amazing!

@tomjennings It brings to mind the spice stained mouths of the (what, mages?) guys quietly mumbling commands/incantations in Dune.Did she have Spice stains?

@tomjennings My wife uses Siri to create text on her phone. Siri is crappy at this so I hear her say "backspace backspace..." a lot.But she puts up with me (!!!!) so I keep mum.

@tomjennings l love Thanksgiving!My family is all in San Diego so we don’t fly anywhere.It is a warm, conversation event for us. We are definitely very thankful for what we have including our family as well as America.When we give thanks before dinner it is easy for me to tear up.And then we go back to our lives. I think a day to reflect on what is good in our lives is healthy. A part of this is thinking how to help others.

@tomjennings hydrogen has some good use cases but battery tech has higher velocity and is much cheaper in scale

@tomjennings It it has a "soft" power button then it is still consuming a small amount of power when off.I set up a Faraday cage room at CES for a client. I had a spectrum analyzer (to show the client why they could not get WiFi on the show floor, and to test the Faraday cage). One of their team had this question. The answer is no, when off or in airplane mode, the iPhone I had at the time emitted nothing.
