Before selling the zip disk drive, I recorded a short video of how to insert and reject a zip disk.

Anybody remember the Zip disk? 💾

It was an alternative to the floppy disk for data storage - until USB sticks took over.

I just found another one, but sadly, I sold my dad's Zip drive on eBay a few years ago.

Same thing for me: didn't need too, but playing MIDIs with a Roland SC-8820 (the other models cost too much) in SC-55 mode is a nice experience. #MIDI #OldHardware #Retrocomputing

Now we get to see which works best for my church needs with dueling old iMacs, one running MacOs and the other Ubuntu. I’m going to try living with both for awhile and, honestly, likely migrate over to the Ubuntu machine.

The whole family of Compaq Armada laptops; 1520D, 1590DMT, 1750.

Now after thinking with them and finally getting all three in a working state - I have to figure out what to do with them 😅

Working with #julia sometimes feels like playing minesweeper. Found a helpful library on the web 💣, punched in `add AwesomeLib` and boom 💥 I have to wait for 15min 🥱 to get all dependencies compiled and installed. #21century #oldhardware
