@mschomm Oooh! My first useful computer (I don't count the ZX-81 it replaced) was a Casio FX-702p, basically similar to your Sharp but with an alphabetic (rather than QWERTY) keyboard. Couldn't afford the cassette interface or plotter, though.
I still have it. AND the manual.
@cstross @mschomm The part of me that is into #retrotech is very, very tiny… but that part of me is drooling right now.

40 years ago (yes, I’m „vintage“ 😉) I had one of the most memorable nights of my life regarding computers and telephone. Couldn’t happen today because communication got too fast and too cheap.

Please could anyone with a #Kobo #Nia (#KoboNia) and/or #RightToRepair #RetroTech type folks point me in the direction of a valid image? Mine's borked amd I need #community #help! Thanks you ♥️
@sjvn Just gave my 12-year-old #Apple #MacBook Pro a fresh life with Linux Mint. 🚀
On newer machines I go for #Ubuntu, but here I happily skipped #GNOME and went for #KDE. Smooth, fast, and still rocking ~2h battery life. Proof that old hardware can shine again! 💻✨

I could track down the original, to find out how much it cost at the time. I have an idea, but I'm not certain of the brand. I DID find a fascinating article about the rise and fall of LED WATCHES & the rise of the LCD watches.

Does anyone know where I can get my hands on some old token ring gear?
What hashtag do you even use for that?

Today’s #RetroTech Old Tat
Sony M-909 MicroCassette Corder, 1991
Smallest Cassette Tape Recorder - to my knowledge
Uses MicroCassette Dictation Cassette
Voice Activated Recording, Auto Reverse, supports both speeds - 2.4 cm/s & 1.2 cm/s
Another example of just because Sony could, they did
Todays #RetroTech Old Tat Arrival at AVAV Towers
Peirce Wire Recorder Cartridge, c1945
60 mins run time, built in counter
After initially building Wire Recorders for the US Military, Peirce became a subsidiary of IBM. Later becoming IBMs Dictation Division
It’s a heavy duty beast
Shown next to Audio Cassette for scale
Another, very kind donation from Thomas in Germany
