Some news

Well, I finally got some more news!

I just finished another week of retro goodness, but this time I was just playing around. I was on Spring break, and you can bet I did some fun basic coding, though none of it is too impressive. Mostly I ported code from an old book I had lying around called "Basic Computer Games: Microcomputer Edition," by David H. Ahl. I also have the "More Basic Computer Games," which I plan to dust off later this week.

I also got a memory upgrade for my Tandy- my model came with only 24Kb of RAM, and now I got 32!

Also, two of my buddies at college here saw my Tandy and wanted one too. I was pleased to take their money and went out and got a pair of Tandy 102's on ebay. I had to do a little refurbishing to get them up to par, especially since one of them had a sticky caps-lock, and the other one had the Num-Lock key broken off, which I had to glue back one. I opened up one of the units, which BTW used to belong to the Ottawa Sherrif's Dept, and was surprised to find grass inside. (I removed it, of course) It also was festooned with velcro all over the backside, including one piece that made opening the battery compartment nearly impossible. Lots of Goo-Gone spent on that one.

Next up I will detail as I make link cables for my friends. Right after I get my digital camera back from my roommate.
