Just in time for EOFY!

Make the most of your business deductions with some new tech like Amstrad's latest portable computer.
At under 6 kilos and with a massive 512KB RAM it'll make light work of calculating your expenses this EOFY. It's even IBM compatible!

50 years ago today Atari was incorporated. I look back and marvel at how little we knew and the journey it would lead us.

On June 27th 1972, Nolan Bushnell and Ted Dabney incorporated Atari Inc in Sunnyvale, California. The rest is history.
Happy 50th birthday, Atari!

I'm in no hurry to install Windows 11 on my Pi 400. Although it sounds like if I start installing it now, it might be ready by October. Maybe I'll just live vicariously through the latest Explaining Computers video instead. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zGF_HaSdFyA

This is a really useful, accessible mix of practical electronics, simple coding and the basic principles at play. Oh, and you end up with an oscilloscope for under a fiver :-) https://youtu.be/aJXPxTOMkoo

Retro people, I'm looking to sell my fairly sizeable #RETROGAMING collection; original hardware, original games, peripherals. Is there a reputable dealer / shop who might be interested in it as a job lot? Some fairly rare things, full inventory available. Grateful for retweets.
I had one of these as my first stereo. Selling it to buy a Sony midi system is one of the biggest regrets I've ever had. Not because the Sony was bad, but because having an original Commodore 3-in-1 music system in 2022 just oozes retro nerd cred.

@CodingAndThings@twitter.com @hqqns@twitter.com If you're not dubbing on a Commodore branded hi-fi, are you REALLY dubbing? 😁

Well I Niva! A #Lada #Niva ute for sale, apparently one of 200 made for the Aussie market. Rare as the standard 2 door, can't say I've ever seen the ute.
