If you watched this and enjoyed it, there is a Micro Men 10th Anniversary retrospective chat with Chris Curry, Steve Furber and Hermann Hauser from The Centre for Computing History.

Although the dramatisation is mildly apocryphal, it does capture really well the entrepreneurship and rivalry of microcomputer development in the UK in the 1980s. I love this short movie and have to go back and watch it again every couple of years.

I’m fine with fewer details, 'k thanks.

To be fair, your username kind of suggests you want to look inside everything anyway

I’d forgotten all about Google+ until you made this observation

About how far does this leave us from a usable quantum processor? How far from all current cryptographic algorithms being junk?

Ok, good first step. When do the prosecutions for physical abuse start?

Take your pick from the Linux family tree

I’ve not come across Arteck, thanks for the tip.

I use a trackball regularly. What’s the make + model and how well does it work for you?

I’d not considered that, thanks

Thanks for the comprehensive rundown, adding LP switch keyboards to my search

Nice, thanks

Thanks for the recommendation, I’ll look into these.

Looks very neat! Not sure I could fit it in my backpack though 🤔

Good question. Too large would be something larger than the deck itself. I need it to fit into a regular day backpack with other stuff.

Too small would be one of those Rii style keyboards with built in trackpad that you need to hold in your hands and type with your thumbs.

Bonus points if you can get them to preserve all the NSFW mods as well.

I’d say it’s time to push the argument that the Library of Congress needs to be preserving games as part of the cultural history of the USA. If the legislative branch won’t abide private efforts then it’s time to make the government do it.
