I've never been to nor never heard of this place but it looks interesting. A former co-worker who doesn't know anything about it either, sent me this video.

One cable modem which must have a bad power supply: upon plugging in an Ethernet cable, establishes link, then goes dead, then reestablishes link, goes dead, etc. One Wintel box with a legal copy of Windows 7, but stuck in a setup reboot loop.

I just received in the mail a piece of computer equipment with enough mass that it just doesn't be dropped on the floor. It arrived wrapped in bubble wrap inside a plastic shipping bag (the kind meant for documents or maybe cloth items, I think). Here's the kicker: The bubble wrap was wound...

Google Voice turns out to be worse than useless. So I'm trying to find a reasonable alternative. All the SIP services that I can find seem to be very expensive. So I'm considering Spectrum Voice, especially since I use their internet service anyway. Does anyone here know what hardware is...

Very strange: I just drove by one that appears to be in business, in Chilton, WI.

Measure the head. If it's around .138 tall, it's a standard Torx drive socket head cap screw. If it's shorter than that, it's a Torx drive low head cap screw.

In 17 years at this house, and 30 years living within 5 miles of here, the mains power has been very reliable. The power company, Weenergies, has lived up to their slogan, "Voted by our shareholders, 'Best in the Nation' at keeping the power on." For the past sieben days, however, every time...

I realise these computers are Uber-R@RE and collectible. And I found an original box for the operating system. So, if anyone has one, and doesn't have the original operating system box, I'd be happy to send it to you for the price of shipping.

At some point I had read instructions on how to hook a new device driver into an existing KERNAL. I scoured my book collection and can find no information on this. So it may have been in a magazine that I no longer have, or maybe even on some early website. If someone knows where to find...

I finally finished my 65xx assembler. Well, it may never be finished. But I reached my long term goal: it assembles itself! I started this iteration of it November 2013. But really I've only got about 2 months of intense work into it. I have hardly worked on it at all in the last 5½ years...

I have a Wintel machine running VICE 3.1, connected to a C64 via RS232. I'm using the User Port on the C64 and COM1 on the Wintel box. In HyperTerminal, I can communicate with the C64. But in VICE, I can't. I assumed that under RS232 Settings, that I should set Serial Port 1 to 'COM1' (no...

I hate to make light of this, but just can't stop thinking that I feel their pain: what happened is a very easy thing to do. And that maybe someone could have had a little more practise:

I'm totally unfamiliar with SATA. I've mostly only used SCSI, and rarely, IDE. I've got a Dell purchased new in early 2003 which came with an IDE hard drive. It also has SATA ports, but per the manual, you can only use either IDE or SATA, not both. In any case, I'm having data throughout...

This is the last hurrah for the number 19. Those old checks are good again. You can easily change 19__ to 2019__.

So I have this Wintel server box. It yoosta run Windows 2003. It has an Adaptec 3210S with a 6-drive RAID array. Fifteen years ago I tried to install Solaris on it and the RAID array is now unformatted. I'm trying (probably for nothing) to install WindowsXP. Apparently there are drivers for...

When the time comes when you decide to upgrade VBulletin, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE don't do it! XenForo is better in every way (from the user's perspective) and it's even CHEAPER than VBulletin. I've never used either of these from the other side of the wall. But really, XenForo is so much faster...

I seem to have forgotten most of what I know about the CBM-II and seem to have lost any documentation I had. Does anyone know the memory location of the ACIA? Or better yet, have a full memory map? I'd like to use the RS232C port on my B128 from BASIC.

For the last week or so, I've been getting redirected to the "current" page when using the Back button on my browser. I've done a lot of testing and it's only happening on this site. Is anyone else finding this?

The scenery is beautiful (assuming you don't catch the convoy of salt trucks). Have a recycled song

On the 16th I purchased something rather expensive (for me) from a company in Hauppauge, NY. On the 17th I received a sort of ambiguous email from said company. On the 18th I received an email from USPS informing me that I had a package on the way from Hauppauge, NY. I tracked the package and...
