An interesting view. But the PET was definitely lower specced than the later 16/32-bit machines usually regarded as workstations.
Yes, possibly.
That’s likely, but I wonder whether any other office workstations were actually developed.
I love Linux. But I got so exasperated with system updates breaking X-Windows and dropping me into the console with no clue what to do, for some time I intentionally deferred the updates.
I wanted a stable daily driver, so in 2015 I switched from Linux to ChromeOS. Now I’m back to Linux with the Crostini container of ChromeOS and Raspberry Pi OS on a Raspberry Pi 400.
Because it’s the most effective and powerful tool for putting the Unix philosophy into practice.
Possibly saving time and resources.
Okay. But if a robocaller doesn’t lead to results, it may be programmed to give up on unpromising numbers.
You’re welcome, enjoy.
There are plates with labels and information but they’re small, easy to miss, and not for all items. But the venue is still relatively young and more work is underway.
What’s even more remarkable is 95% of the items on display still work. And they have lots more in storage.
They are car enthusiasts too, so that’s why there are some such vehicles. The bulk of the material comes from the personal collection of one of the founders of the group.
While I don’t downvote posts with emojis I’m most interested in reading tech content, where emojis feel redundant and distracting.
VokoscreenNG is a screencasting tool that works with Raspberry Pi OS, I tested it on my Pi 400. And it’s also easy to install, just sudo apt install vokoscreen-ng gstreamer1.0-pipewire

I’ve updated the post.
Looks nice indeed, thanks.
Interesting suggestion but possibly overkill.
Although I did see some punch cards I never used them. At the time I couldn’t afford a computer with punch cards and was too young and inexperienced to work for an organization that had such machines.
Old fart Boomer here, my first computer was a Sinclair ZX Spectrum.
Reading computer magazines and books, and eagerly anticipating getting my hands on such material. Today’s kids born in an online era of infinite content just can’t imagine how difficult it was back them to get technical publications and information, printed or otherwise.
You’re welcome.
Lisp.
It just feels extremely natural to me, so it’s difficult to pinpoint specific features I like. But two such features stand out: the parantheses-based syntax and the extreme interactivity.
Learn to cook (which saves you money) and do all the house chores (including ironing).
