While cleaning up the garage yesterday, I stumbled upon two programming books my wife used when she was going through college back in the late 1980's. She does not want these books, so we're offering them for free (you pay shipping from Florida, US). The titles are: Essentials of COBOL...

Hey, back when I was trying to build a D-Star gateway, I purchased a lot of stuff off of eBay. The last remaining piece is a Seagate 73GB Ultra160 SCSI drive that is just laying around. If anybody could make use of it, it is yours for shipping. PM me if you are interested.

I have almost two years worth of Inside Visual Basic, from December 1997 through November 1999, free for the taking. All I ask is you pay shipping. Also, all of them go to the same person, no splits. I also have almost three years worth of Delphi Developer's Journal, from March 1997 through...

As the subject says!!!

I just picked up a refurbished Apple Newton eMate off of eBay, does anyone know anything about them? Description from the eBay auction: Description from Apple website: The Apple eMate 300, designed for the education market, features a 25 MHz ARM 710a processor, 8 MB of ROM, 3 MB of RAM (1MB of...

Check out this article: http://waxy.org/2008/04/milliways_infocoms_unreleased_sequel_to_hitchhikers_guide_to_the_galax/ It appears that someone has found themselves in possession of a hard drive with a complete backup of the Infocom shared network drive from 1989!

Has anyone run Contiki on the C-64? http://www.sics.se/contiki/ I've read about it, but haven't actually heard any first-hand reviews. I was thinking about trying it out, when my C-64 arrives.

I've been looking at this for the past year or so, but keep talking myself out of buying it. It isn't expensive (around $129.00 US), I just don't think I have the time to devote to learning it, no matter how cool it looks and sounds. Has anyone else checked this out...
