First thing I thought of! Especially the picture in the header.
Why does Ross, the largest friend, not simply eat the other friends?
Oh no! This is almost as bad a time sink as tvtropes! I haven't seen it in years and it is a shame it no longer gets updated.
This is a great site! The Stunt Plane is a design I learned from a book as a kid and is still my go-to when my kids want me to make a plane. Time to pick up a few more.
As a kid in the mid-80's I once woke up with a bit of a belly ache and thought "I can milk this for a day off school to play with Lego" Ended up having an emergency appendectomy that night.
For now any screens using the Amiga's on board chips will use the original video outputs. Only RTG screens are displayed via HDMI. This will change in an upcoming release.
The 512K chip ram does limit the games it will run. I'm mainly using it for writing code and other OS friendly stuff. I'm keenly looking forward to the Gold 3 update which will give it 4MB chip ram and AGA output via…
It's not a typo. More info on the 68080 core can be found at http://www.apollo-core.com/. I've got one in an Amiga 1000 and it's a lot of fun :)
I read Stoll's book Silicon Snake Oil back then and thought it a bit short sighted too. It's amazing how much the Internet experience has changed in 20 years - and not all of it for the better. Also, the fact that…
I've read Neuromancer and Snow Crash about once a year for nearly 20 years. Michael Marshall Smith's early sci-fi books, Only Forward and Spares, have also had many re-reads.
A lot of early surface mount capacitors seem prone to leaking corrosive crap onto the boards they're soldered to. This seems to affect machines from the late 80's to the mid 90s. Older through-hole caps can leak too but…
I've got one of these: http://apollo-core.com/index.htm in an Amiga. It's an insane amount of fun. "Apollo Core 68080 is the natural and modern evolution of latest 68000 processors. It's 100% code compatible, corrects…
This looks fun, considering how much of an influence Next seems to have had on OS 2 & 3. And not just the colour schemes either, BOOPSI (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BOOPSI) looks like an attempt to get some ObjC…
How about :≡ ?
My in-laws have a 2009 iMac that's still going strong. Last year I replaced the HD with an SSD (nervously using suction cups to get the screen off while my F-i-L watches over my shoulder...) My wife's 2011 MBP also…
I've got a few Amigas and my 6 year old son loves messing about in Deluxe Paint. Some of his creations are starting to approach Warhol's level... I think...
Given the subject of the article and some of the comments (robotic or modified real animals) I was expecting this to be about a different type of seal. What an interesting life you must have, I thought, if people gift…
I know... it's pretty hard to continue reading when the first statement is obviously false.
Turns out it was just episodes of The Alien Bachelor?
I've also got a 500, 1000 and 1200, all pretty much stock. I made a pretty rough looking plipbox that worked ok with the 1200 but I haven't been able to get it to work with the 2000. Some of my dodgy soldering probably…
I've been getting my Amiga 2000 online just this week but I suspect it was easier for me as I've got 20MB RAM and a 68030 CPU. I used a null modem cable connected to an RS232 to USB adaptor plugged into a Raspberry PI…
As a kid an episode of Ripley's Believe It Or Not left me convinced I was going to die in a nuclear war before reaching adulthood. I should see if that episode is on youtube and show it to my kids...
Surely there's room in Unicode for Marain characters?
If you have the opportunity, it's worth checking it and cleaning it up. I didn't know about this problem at the end of the 90s when I stopped using my A4000 and the battery destroyed the motherboard.
That's true (I've actually got an amiga shell window open in an emulator on another workspace right now...) - the CD command is only needed in cases of ambiguity. I hope you removed the clock battery from your A2500…
