A couple of weeks ago I won an auction for a brand-new-in-box DEC Letterwriter 100 teletype! Okay, so It ended up costing me AUD 150 plus shipping, but how often do you come across a teletype that's been sitting in its box for around 25 years?

I bought this I think in 1987, when I was a sophomore in college. There were only a handful of Woz limited editions. Mine has actually turned yellow with age (I processed it out to see what it looked like when new).

Happily, the machine powers on without any trouble from old capacitors! According to the user manual, it is supposed to be showing the words, "TERMINAL READY" and a flashing cursor.

One of the talks for the day: how elections work and how computer graphics can help us understand them.

There was a big party earlier today to celebrate Apple's gift for creating disposable electronics.

Saw this around the corner from my house last weekend. It would have been top of the iMac range in 2000 or 2001.

I borrowed two 3.5" 800K drives from a friend.

In 2012 I was hunting for one of Ataris rarer computer, the 32MHz 68030 equipped Atari TT. I finally found mine in Germany via Ebay. Later I discovered that that machine had been sold on Ebay about two-three weeks before from Austria. That auction showed a photo of the serial-number with matched mine. The guys reselling to me had cleaned it up, fitted a new harddrive - and removed the graphics upgrade and possible also cutting the cables to the two extra serial-ports the TT has.

So in my restoration of it I repared these cables. I've also replaced the clock-battery as the old one was dead, switched to Swedish TOS, upgraded the memory and eventually I'll put it throug a "retro-bright" treatment to give it back it's former white colour.
