The comments in some of the news posts covering the auction popping up are curious / amusing. Lots of supercomputer hate - "let's use a few PCs," etc. ex: https://wccftech.com/iconic-5-34-pflops-cheyenne-

Pretty slick. I've been listening to lots of "new" tracker tunes on the 486 + GUS over the past few months, and it's been lovely. A sample: https://oldbytes.space/@blakespot/111990410300125218 (so t

I set it up on my 486-class PC tonight and did my first toot from it (followed by a selfie of sorts). https://oldbytes.space/@blakespot/111898550167322715

I will say that the Atari ST version of Rogue was one of my favorite games for the ST back when I had it in 1986, published by Epyx as mentioned in the article. Nice tile graphics on that one. https://www.flickr.com/photos&#

Though, the article's conclusion that, This in turn also helps encourage consumers to buy AMD hardware, whether it is just an AMD GPU or an AMD CPU and GPU combination. Is a flawed notion, as AMD FSR can run on most any modern GPU an

Interestingly, I've never owned a 386. I was not much of a DOS/Win PC person until 1994, when I got a 486 to run NEXTSTEP. I've had an i8088, NEC V20, i80286, i80486, AMD 5x86, P4, and then on with the Mac starting in 2006 wi

I had an Apple IIgs and a PowerMac G5 across the room from each other (still have the GS, but in the G5's spot sits a Mac Studio, now). To get files from the net onto the IIgs, I attached a Keyspan USB to serial adapter to the Mac, wit

I didn't use a Windows PC for very long at home, but I did from 1994 to 1998, and I had Word 6 during that time. It was pretty nice. I've certainly use a number of more basic word processors in my time. :-) https://byte
