November 6, 2001. Oulu, Finland. Agfa ePhoto CL18. Did futile manual attempts at trying to fix the fact that this was shot at 640x480, because unfortunately the AI rescaler plugin isn't compatible with Affinity yet (and also I haven't been able to afford to continue the subscription so I guess I'm screwed as far as that goes).

I'm editing these photos right now at the same place and the same desk. Though the computer has been slightly upgraded obviously. The Logitech speakers are in the closet, I have those CD-ROM games somewhere in the drawers and I still use the Microsoft Intellimouse with Raspberry Pi, but aside of that, I guess everything else in the photo has been upgraded. Oh yeah, and I still have the CD-ROM case on the desk, though I use it for my USB hard drives.

As a surprise Christmas gift to #retrocomputing, I've pushed out a new version of my #Vezza #Infocom #zmachine #interpreter. This time it's a #CP/M build, specifically for the #TRS80 models 2/12/16... on glorious 8-inch floppies. My requestor and tester Ziggystar12 was kind enough to take a photo of Bureaucracy running on a machine with the 8-inch drives; a game that could never be run on that machine before even though it was contemporary! #retrogaming #retroBattleStations

Not gonna lie... Dave's fixation with his DEC PDP-11 systems is one of the absolute best things on the modern Internet, bar none. 🫶🏾

@ochaos @futurebird I think the #RetroBattleStations / #RetroBattleStation tags are more likely fits for this challenge.

Just discovered Dana Sibera's #Apple concepts and I've had such fun scrolling through her ideas.

Early Apple and #RetroBattlestations as a whole had such amazing #design and hardware, and these, well they take it to the next level.

#VintageApple in a 'what if' world? Yes please.

From Reddit: The NEC N5200 is a curious little workstation from 1987. It runs proprietary PTOS on an Intel 286. This version comes with a hard drive and boots from it. You can select boot option via a toggle on the case front

For the stocking themselves I finally made a sort of "name tag" so that people could figure out which stocking goes to who. I semi-randomly pick stockings to fill based on how much stuff needs to go into them, so I've never sewn names onto them. Instead I made custom #3DPrinted pins of things that certain people are very into. For my mom an alligator, Snoopy for my dad, "caffeine" for my sister, and of course the #RetroBattlestations logo for me.

Check it out! I made a #RetroBattlestations pin! It’s #3DPrinted in two pieces, with a slot for a safety pin. Just insert the safety pin then snap the two halves together. #maker #crafts #3DPrint #3DPrinting
