Clearing out the attic, we found this... one of THREE old BBC Microcomputers we had festering up there. This is a Model B but we also found a BBC Master with a double-disk drive. It belonged to my parents some time in the early 80s.

ZX-UND! O que é? Um RaspPI que pensa que é um ZX Spectrum (e está bem convencido do fato)

Growin' my bangs out finally.

 

RAW also isn't fun, not when you're still using an iBook G4 from 2005...anyone remember when PowerPC processors weren't out of date? I do, I'm still using one. My computer froze every time I moved a slider!

A photo tribute to an old machine, 1999-2007 and still running strong, but no longer needed. It was also the noisiest thing in my new place, but served me well over the years.

 

* Intel Celeron 433

* 256 MB RAM

* Dual-boot WinXP/98SE

* ~75 GB disk space, 2 drives

* 4X CD-R / multi-format dual-layer DVD+/-R drives

* Numerous stickers

* Super-optimized boot time + drive transfer speed via ATA66/80-conductor UDMA IDE cables (new at the time.) XP used only ~64 MB of RAM after boot.

 

I basically wrote all my DHTML experiments and projects (DHTML Arkanoid as one notable example), did audio/video and photo editing on this machine up until 2005 when I moved to California, at which point it became a storage/DVD-writing machine and dev server (also ran http, smtp and ftp.)

 

Now I have 250 GB of external storage and a laptop that does dual-layer DVDs, so this old ghetto dev machine has officially been rendered obsolete. I moved all of the important data over to my new system, so I'm officially done with it. This photo serves as a mental note of its history.

Matt and I came up with two explanations for this:

 

1) This is clearly some kind of killer attack robot (note the insidious eyes);

2) The SE/30 has initiated some kind of chain reaction in its CPU, resulting in total destruction in about 30 seconds.
