I finally! found the perfect technology group for me, and at the bottom it says "This Group Cannot Add Any More Members Log In If You Are Already A Member"! I don't understand the policies of groups.io, but is anyone here a member who is willing to unsubscribe? Perhaps, you joined and forgot, or never post or read things, or you just find it to be boring. If none of that is possible, can someone please point me to a similar group somewhere on the Internet?

bvtc groups.io Group

Are you blind/visually impaired? Are you a sucker for retro hardware and/or software? Do you hate to see icons of the past slip into the land of the forgotten? This is the group for you! This group aims to unite sightless nostalgia freaks and retrophiles the world over. Classic operating systems, old school screen readers, long lost and forgotten speech synthesizers... It's all here!

This morning I had to catch this summer's first #wasp that had somehow gotten indoors and throw it out of the door!

Luckily this year, I already had my CD-R spindle cover ready in the shelf near the windows. Very handy for catching bugs harmlessly, that! Kids these days would probably not be as prepared as I am!

Teen confused by paper with ‘$200’ written on it. The answer was hilariously simple.

My dad passed away last year. Going through his stuff I found an old slide viewer. When I noticed it had batteries inside, I feared they had rusted, leaked and completely destroyed it.
Instead I found these. Practically no leakage, no corrosion on the battery holder, and.. still a bit of juice left!
