Hi, I'm Adrian!
RISC is good!
Worked during the weekend and couldn't pick up the package earlier, but I think this output means it has 1 GB of RAM installed? There's 256 MB on the board of this model, but a 768 MB stick would be strange?
It seems like the hard drive was formatted by someone, since it only has .journal and .trash files on it. But the hard drive is not completely dead. The battery is however, and doesn't take a charge.
I think this PC build is cursed... these DDR4 sticks showed up packed in the finest static.
I found an interesting thesis from 2005: https://wrap.warwick.ac.uk/id/eprint/1197/, and in Chapter 5: "Getting the Message: Public Electronic Mail Networks," it describes the many incompatible e-mail networks around the world and UK especially. It's a very interesting read and it's well written! It also contained this table of incompatible addressing formats.
I found a pile of #Asimov books while thrifting today! These are all in English as well and I don't think I've ever read any books from the foundation series. Not bad for €3!
