42 years after my father and I had assembled it, our first computer "Galaksija" has found a new home at @muzej, where diligent caretakers of our regional computer history will have it displayed for nostalgic and curious visitors.

Big thanks to @bsidesljubljana for allowing me to show Galaksija to conference attendees before handing it over to the museum.

Galaksija came as a DIY kit, requiring one to solder all components to the motherboard, assemble the keyboard, obtain additional chips from a small electronics shop in Austria, but most notably -- create one's own chassis. So each Galaksija is basically unique, ours having a wooden case for the computer, and a plastic box for the sound extension (attached at its back), both covered with black wallpaper.

With its 6 KB of memory, even with a built-in BASIC interpreter, I was forced to learn coding in Z80 assembly to get anything interesting done. A minor detail in retrospect, but without that, @0patch would likely not exist today as we're writing our security patches in assembler.

Thank you, dad, for bringing this machine to my life. It was a fun box with a huge impact for this 12-year-old then, as well as for thousands of @0patch users worldwide today.
