Your kid would need reported W2 income to be eligible. Start a 529 plan instead.

Oh man, the SGIs are so expensive nowadays. I always thought it would be awesome to replicate Nedry's setup from Jurassic Park but it would be like $10k in retro gear right now.

The MacBook and Amiga are pretty attainable goals still. Those early MacBooks were really hot stuff when they came out.

Brother word processor floppy images? in c/[email protected]

Yeah, the Tetris disk is one I really want to archive. I think I'll try to write those images you linked to floppies and check compatibility across my Brother machines.

What's your white whale? (lemmy.fmhy.ml)
 

What piece of retro tech is your white whale? What do you aspire to own but probably won't ever have the chance to?

I grew up around and was mentored by many DEC veterans. I even work in one of their old manufacturing facilities. I'd love to own a DEC mainframe from their peak in the early 80s. Even a minicomputer is unreasonable for most of us hobbiests. One can dream though

I've been trying to get the Racore memory expansion working for the past few months. Seems like the DOS drivers I found on archive.org aren't compatible with this hardware version. Oh well, the Jride will give me enough memory anyway.

What do you have on your workbench?

Brother word processor floppy images? (lemmy.fmhy.ml)
 

I just got a greaseweazle to image floppies. I'm interested in archiving the software disks for Brother word processors. Before I start down that rabbit hole, does anyone know if any images are out there already?

Anyone have experience with the Epson QX-10? (lemmy.fmhy.ml)
 

Mine has bad floppy drives. Hopefully it'll get floppy emulator replacements soon.
