One of My Favorite Things....
Fox/Universal took down "One of My Favorite Things..." Bummer. It's not like a 1 minute clip of a canceled TV show would do anything but sell more disks.
Like the //gs it was killed before its time.
But I can't tell you the name of the show because that would reward Fox/Universal for being dickheads. But I can tell you that there were only 14 episodes and a movie and that "Darn" is much cooler than "This is SPARTA!"

New (Old) Toy! An Apple //c+
There it is, the new yet old Apple //c+. Aside from the obvious yellowing (almost Apple ][ beige) and a missing rubber foot, it seems to even work! The 800k 3.5" drive was a little sticky so my first boots were from 5.25" drives. But now it's working well and booting from 3.5". I haven't been able to confirm the cpu speed but that's something I'll do before getting any sleep…

Possible new/old Acquisition!
Well, if I've done all my work and Paypal hasn't cut me off like Wikileaks, I may have purchased an Apple //c+ on eBay last night.
More when/if it shows up!
Remember this is the fastest official Apple // ever made. If it works when it gets here.

Go there, look at it. And show your spouse that, "Really, it could be worse."

Jailbreaking Demo
Now there are two sides to this issue and the Library of Congress has decided which side they are on and we already know Apple's stance, but this is gutsy!
