Looks like we had some unexpected downtime - the dyndns updater... didn't. Without that, no one could ping the BBS and obviously connect. Should be fixed now.

I enjoyed playing a game of Chess on the 'MissPiggy' PDP-11/70 running UNIX v7.

Today we’re spending time playing on the Amiga x5000. Rebuilt her with the latest update 3 and a Radeon RX570. Registered iBrowse 3 and stated installing games. #amiga #amigaos4

I was going to work on the BBS computer but the cats have decided that isn’t going to happen. #CatsOfMastodon #bbs

Coworker donated a sealed box of 8” floppy disks! Made in 1989 so definitely late in life for 8 inch drives. #retroputing

The first computer I ever owned was a Sharp MZ-731. It had a tape drive and an integrated four-colour plotter. 💕 But that wasn't the first computer I programmed. That honour goes to a Luxor ABC-80.

So many computer brands were introduced back then, but most of them died off and disappeared into obscurity.
