You thought that Office 97 on 55 floppy disks was insane? How about an Italian encyclopedia that comes on 115 disks in a suitcase? Meet Multiglobo!

Everything..

Anyway the single moment of greatest joy I have experienced this summer was when I discovered the Atari 2600 core for the Analogue Pocket will happily open *any* file, such as ROMs for other systems, and attempt to execute it on the assumption it is an Atari 2600 ROM, invariably leading to a 200-ms-to-3-second loop of bizarre blocking pixel noise and glitch sounds

PSA: PLEASE SHARE! If you pickle or preserve food, safe pickling requires at least 5% acidity. This is the first year you CANNOT just go grab a gallon of distilled vinegar - it’s only 4% and you will waste a lot of food thinking it’s shelf stable.

This is much deeper than your typical bumper sticker.

At the start of the 1990s, computers were gaining popularity but still relatively expensive. This put schools in a tough spot, who wanted to expose kids to technology — so a couple of Apple engineers came up with a clever alternative. New video!

Here's a quick look at the Memorex VIS, which stood for "video information system" and not "very impossible to sell." It was merely nearly impossible to sell. It had next to no games in a sea of edutainment software. The wireless controller is as bad as you might imagine.

As a youngster around 1990 I started working on the first Dutch TV show that was completely created using a computer. An Amiga to be specific.

The show was called Mannetje & Mannetje, and featured a low-resolution mix of digitized photographs and drawn elements.

The magenta color was used for keying, using a Genlock device to record the footage to analog storage for broadcasting.
