@thomasfuchs What kind of vehicle? One time on the road, I ran into a British family driving around the world in their car that they shipped continent to continent. I think it was still plated in the UK, could be something similar?

@thomasfuchs nothing like giving a Magic 8-Ball power-of-attorney

@thomasfuchs modern Windows? It's always disheartening to see problems like this in the present because it's like "but didn't we nail this one down like 30-50 years ago?"

@thomasfuchs depending on wiring, that cable might double as a comms cable for TI Graphing Calculators as well!

@thomasfuchs but without something to read Laserdisc, how will you ever watch Xanadu?

@thomasfuchs $3500 and a sixpack to my name (sixpack!)

@thomasfuchs I have too many computer projects that I should get to. If I come across one locally, I won't pass it up.

In addition to the nostolgia there's also a bit of regret in not understanding what I had until it was gone: an Apple IIgs Woz with a memory expansion card, matching drives, a modem, and ImageWriter II printer.

For me, that IIgs will have to live in the past along with my IBM 5150, Mac Classic, and beige G3 that was running Linux made from scrounged parts I found in the trash.

@thomasfuchs this makes me miss the IIgs I had growing up

@thomasfuchs the new Apple IIgs is going to be 🔥

@thomasfuchs he has to do everything to convince everyone in his downline that he does, or else the money stops rolling in.

Oh, well there we go, halluncinations solved, easy peasy.

@thomasfuchs canyon.mid

@thomasfuchs hey now, let's not be too hasty.

@thomasfuchs I put this off for the longest time because I wanted the run to be inside the house rather than out and back in. Recently I ran a "temporary" jumper and it was a big change from being on the wireless despite being fairly close to the AP.

The whole thing took maybe an hour and I had put it of for 5 years because of "don't wanna", so I understand that feeling.

I still need to go back and install conduit for the cable, hopefully in a couple of years I might get around to it.

@thomasfuchs Did the Airtable AI write this ad copy? Just.. wow.

@thomasfuchs our dog attempts to collect a cheese tax every time he hears the bag of deli slices open.

@thomasfuchs a speak and spell with 3.6mb of removable storage! How wonderous the future will be!

@thomasfuchs probably around $1900 in 1993?

@thomasfuchs what era of Windows install/vendor bloatware is this? I remember how bad things were in the PC world in terms of time to first use, sometimes to the point where it was easier to start out with a bare Windows install than it was to navigate through a vendor-specific flow.
