Learn to cook (which saves you money) and do all the house chores (including ironing).

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.

Although it did have an nVidia card, my PC was an otherwise ordinary machine running Ubuntu, not a gaming rig or something custom built.

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.

My first computer was a Sinclair ZX Spectrum 48K in the early 1980s when I was 17. My parents agreed to buy it and I used to device to learn about computers, which I was curious about as I had played a bit with the Apple IIe and the Sinclair ZX-81 of some classmates.

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.

Text searches (e.g. page search in browsers) that do return results, but they don’t show up anywhere on the screen or aren’t highlighted.

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.
