I've been thinking about security. I need some bigger, stronger latches.
I think the culprit must have been interrupted by a passer-by.
Nothing was stolen but I can't think of another reason why I found the current latches broken.

An Oscilloscope The Way They Used To Be

I really need to get better at taking pictures of CRTs. Android default Camera app is awful for this - I'm trying Open Camera now with some success but are there better options on Android?
A somewhat unusual "Macintosh" for this year's MARCHintosh offering...
Here is my Atari 520ST running Spectre, a Macintosh emulator (or translator, perhaps more accurately) which features actual Macintosh Plus ROMs (user must provide) and in 1989 (along with Magic Sac which preceded it in 1986) was "the only legal Macintosh clone." Gadgets by Small, who made the device, called it 20% faster than a Mac Plus, with a 30% larger screen size (640x400 on the ST monochrome display vs. 512x342 on the early Macs).
The Atari 520STm shown here features an 8MHz MC68000, has been expanded to 4MB RAM (up from 512K), features an HxC2001 floppy emulator, an ACSI2STM hard disk emulator, and dual Atari RGB and monochrome monitors, switchable with a Monitor Master switchbox. The 12-inch SM124 monitor showing Pinball Construction Set for Mac is nearly identical to the early Mac monochrome displays in terms of clarity, the distinctive bluish P4-class phosphor, and its overall "presence." It is a very nice display running at a rock-solid 71Hz.
(A similar series of devices, beginning with the A-Max, was released by ReadySoft for the Commodore Amiga in 1989, though I found the ST options more appealing, in large part due to the superb high-res, non-interlaced monochrome display the ST supported.)

IBM CGA CRT with interesting burn - ERROR H on boot, with IBM logo burned in and color bars at the bottom. XT didn't have an IBM logo on boot, so this looks like it was used with a PCJr - it's boot screen is the same.
What amazes me is this PC sat there errored out for so long the CRT burnt. WTF 😆
