     @j See, *these* tracks sound all Sega Genesis. Especially that last one, that sounds like a Genesis game that was a licensed title from an 80s TV show.

     @p I really wish I had pager service here but I don't so I had to return my page.
     
     I at least have a home phone and an answering machine.
     
     The 80s is when America peaked so that's where I like to live. :sunwave:

     Bringing back backlit monochrome LCDs would be cool.

     I mean, you read the cyberpunk stuff from the 80s? They are like "here's a terrible dystopia" and it's like..."Hey, no vendor-lock, no IoT horseshit, they just plug the robot shit into their brain and it works! Then he just jacks into the cyberspace and everyone has a BBS and they can exchange messages with each other."

     @EllisDee @coolboymew @j I mean, it's not that I hate the bitmap display per se; I just like monochrome displays and I think, like, a lot of the machines that have them are built really well and when they started with the "Well, you *have* to have *color*" and why do you have to have color? Video games and porno. And I have this fancy color display because you can't really buy monochrome displays any more, but I use it to look at a monochrome stream of text.

     @Ree @EllisDee @coolboymew @j That's probably why I saved them.
     
     The Gridcase is interesting because all of its software is in ROM: you install shit by plugging more ROM chips into the board. They were used in space, like, hard to get much more stable than completely solid-state. They still run a few hundred dollars to a little over a thousand last time I checked, because they still work, tough machines, etc.
     
     I am a fan of the DevTerm, personally.
