I wanted to use my Apple as a simple VT100 type terminal for various Propeller related things. I remembered Pro Term way back when, and it was a very solid product, employing then modern GUI type interaction. Interestingly, that interaction is familiar even now, tab, space, arrows doing what a modern Windows computer would do. Funny that. ...

Scored a really great 80's portable TV. It can sit right on top of the Apple. Now, if I could only find one of those green screens... all in due time.
Anyway, the TV is sweet. Required almost no real adjustment. I pulled the back and did the usual. Expanded the displayed frame, by pulling the yoke back just a bit. it's a newer one, so I...

Ok, so I got sucked in. It was a great deal, and I usually know better than to go using e-bay...
The plan is to play some older games. I've a copy of Ultima on disk that I've not played for years. Hope it works.
At some point, I want to put Propeller chips on cards for use with the Apple as a retro-dev station. Just getting started...

Missed out on the sale posted here recently, and it just solidified my desire for a classic Apple ][ series computer.
I'm not too particular about the model. Would prefer the e, but a nice plus, with 8 col card, language card, etc... would be just fine.
Ping me. ...or just know I want one, and maybe post up what you want, just because we can!

I'm gonna put this here so I can find it later. A comment triggered some thoughts of mine that I may want to refer to later on.
The context here is digital distribution and the ongoing grumblings about it, and specifically that "servers are expensive" reasoning we hear a lot.
I think it's about more than that, and so here it...

Looks like I've gotta get hold of a board called "dracblade". It's a board using two props, some RAM, and other components.
People have CP/M running on it rather nicely. Recent sound emulations of the SID and AY, led to a nice Speccy emulator that runs many games. It's not quite at speed, but fast enough to play the...

Let me explain that. For the last few years, I've really been struggling. Bad thing after bad thing has happened, and that's just the truth of it.
After looking around, I realize that perhaps the string of ugly stuff is over. Mrs Potatohead and I have been caring for older parents and kids for a long time. (too long maybe)

There are basically two approaches to artifacting on the color computer 3. My blog entries from before use the 640 pixel, 4 color mode to generate artifacts. That's a good palette, with lots of texture, some bright colors, some dim colors, but lacking in red, and generally kind of coarse in places. When artifacting in 640 pixel mode, the 4...
