The new 180 mm belt came in, and wrapping it around the floppy drive spindles & pulley felt exactly as hard as it needs to be.

For a website now long gone, I made the 403 error page by taking a Forbidden Planet movie poster, word-arting "forbidden file" over it, & captioning it, "Uh oh, skipper, you upset Doctor Morbius."

Just a quick PSA. Remember, when you see someone post news articles on Mastodon regardless of who is posting it there is a significant chance that it is either fake, or the information in it is mostly wrong. If you see an interesting story in a post, research it. I don't care if it's from your mother, I don't care if it's from your best friend, I don't care if it's from "a guaranteed trusted source". Research everything. Uttimately you are responsible for the information you absorb, and share.

Whenever you toot anything like 'the person reading this is cute and valid', always remember to reread it, because you're cute and valid too!

Interesting trivia: As high a limit as it is, there is actually a length limit on image captions here. I run out sometimes at 415 characters each & sometimes at 420 characters each.

eBay recommendations are weird. It recommended absolutely nothing Amiga for my A500 2MB RAM upgrade, but it recommended a whole bunch of Amiga stuff for my Timex Sinclair 1000 16KB RAM upgrade. It even recommended I buy a $8,000 SGI system because I bought an MS-DOS guide.
