by Jeffrey Brace 22 Dec '21

VCF is consulting with a small film studio to tell a story from the early 90's. They want to be as authentic as possible. Does anyone have any pictures from college computer lab's from this time period? If yes, then please contact me. Thanks! ========================================= Jeff Brace VCF National Board Member Chairman & Vice President Vintage Computer Festival East Show-runner VCF Mid-Atlantic Executive Director Vintage Computer Federation is a 501c3 charity http://www.vcfed.org/ jeffrey(a)vcfed.org

MMURTL 32-bit project OS
by Richard Cini 22 Dec '21

22 Dec '21

All – In the early-1990’s, there was a book about a DIY 32-bit OS, written by Rich Burgess (it’s often called “MMURTL”). I started playing with it again after a lot of years, and there are some fixed/enhancements for it, but every version of one of the files (CLI.C) in every archive on-line (AJMFixes1.zip) is corrupt. If anyone has a non-corrupt version of this, please let me know. Even the “new” github repros have the corrupt version. Thanks!

How much more money are these worth with the Twiggy drives, vs. the 3.5"?

That Lisa looks in much better shape than the Lisa 1 down at System Source! Wherever you found it, nice find. Also the $95,000 seems right in line with the recent auction for a working one just a few months ago: https://www.rrauction.com/auctions/lot-detail/344684606157013-apple-lisa-co… <https://www.rrauction.com/auctions/lot-detail/344684606157013-apple-lisa-co…> -andy

"Think a Little" - Tim Stryker
by John Heritage 17 Dec '21

17 Dec '21

Hey folks, I'm cleaning up my house a bit for a move, and found a book I read back in 2016: "Think a Little : Evolutionary Perspectives On The Future Of Civilization". The book was written by the author of MajorBBS / founder of Galacticomm (Tim Stryker), and for several reasons I picked up the book years ago. Note the book has nothing to do with BBSes though :) - it's a bit of a philosophy book with (various) thoughts on the present, and a chapter or two dedicated to future predictions (as written in 1992-1993). Per my notes from 2016 - it's definitely not an easy read, it's somewhat US focused, and in many ways controversial / definitely not PC (but in my personal opinion covered topics worth exploring, even if the reader disagrees). The synopsis of the book is a push for a new type of democracy - which is clearly not a small topic :). If anyone would like the book, send me an email and I'll mail you the book free of charge - it's yours! Thanks! John - Stryker, Tim (1993). *Think a little: Evolutionary Perspectives On The Future Of Civilization* (1 ed.). Boca Raton, Florida: Cool Hand Communications. ISBN <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISBN_(identifier)> 1-56790-025-9 <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:BookSources/1-56790-025-9>.
