new phone case, who dis? 🤙

iPhone in a giant "brick phone" case designed to look like those huge early wireless phones. The first handheld cellular phone call was made by Motorola engineer Martin Cooper on April 3, 1973, in New York City, using a prototype DynaTAC device. This "brick phone" weighed 2.5 pounds, offered 30 minutes of talk time, and required 10 hours to charge. It became commercially available in 1983 as the $3,995 DynaTAC 8000X. See https://www.etsy.com/listing/1862561919/retro-motorola-dynatac-brick-phone-case

So, fertig! Ich hab die beiden Fassungen von Microsoft Word 6.0 für Windows - also Vollversion und Update - vollständig geprüft und ins Internet Archive hochgeladen. Die beiden Varianten unterscheiden sich lediglich im ersten Datenträger. Zum Download gibt es nun sämtliche Disketten Images, Scans in 300dpi, sowie perfekte KryoFlux Streams:

https://archive.org/details/ms-word_60_de

Viel Spaß damit! 😉

Remember how funding used to work before vulture capitalists cornered the market of funding start-ups?

Sirius Systems Technology was a personal computer manufacturer in Scotts Valley, California. It was founded in 1980 by Chuck Peddle and Chris Fish, formerly of MOS Technology and capitalized by Walter Kidde Inc.

Jay Hoffmann @Jayhoffmann on the origins of permalinks for blog posts. Decades later some sites with blog or news items still don't provide permalinks.

The History of the Web

A History of the Permalink

Permalinks are commonplace on the web. But it took the rise of blogging to codify them, and bring them out into the world. And it all started with a single exchange of blogs.

Decades ago, we had to manually assign interrupt addresses for external hardware to get internet.

Join me, a software guy, for a ‘very much hands on’ hardware video as I refurb an old external Gotek drive for my Amiga A500, ‘Big Red’.

Trust me, it’s quite the journey, and has scenes of manual labour. 😱😅 https://youtu.be/fSi-pppNfd8
