For me it's similar, IIGS signed by Woz! -- Ethan O'Toole

Two emails. While getting Multics up and running, I discovered a few bugs in Multics and sent bug reports to the Multics mailing list. I received the following replies which I treasure: Super. Nothing like coming home from an exhausting workday to find a bug

in my 35-year-old code has come back to haunt me. :-(

and I like the idea of submitting a bug report 14 years after the last site was

shutdown. Might be a record. Do we have to reconvene the MCR board to approve the fix?

(The second reply was received in June 2014. On Jan 6 of this year, the ad hoc MCRB (Multics Change Request Board) approved MCR10021 fixing the bug.) -- Charles

Well, the Honeywell Alert is rather special, and definitely out of the ordinary, as a collector's item. Also, the MicroVAX-II is dear to my heart, as I did a LOT of work with it (at home, as well as at work with a variety of VAXen and uVAXen) from 1986 to 1995 or so. When I got it in 1986, it was a ***REAL*** computer, and I was in hog heaven. Jon

Hard to say which one is most lovely, maybe I just list three most important for me. First is my full IBM 1800 system including 2311 drives, 1627 plotter, etc... http://ennenmikrotietokoneita.blogspot.fi/2015/08/1800-kesakuvia.html I got CPU to run a year ago, other parts are under progress. Big and noisy beast, gotta love it. Second would be weird decimal based thing, IBM 1620 Model I: http://ennenmikrotietokoneita.blogspot.fi/2016/06/ibm-1620-model-i-uusi-lel… Pretty hard to get back to life, memory is corroded and Model B typewriter is missing. Maybe some day... Third, Honeywell H316. Exactly I have two of these, both running. The first one is mint conditioned tabletop version, another is rack version with HSA option. https://plus.google.com/u/0/photos/114704705421528969208/albums/61149386948… https://plus.google.com/u/0/photos/114704705421528969208/albums/61149386948… [https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-raRVSw-lBQE/VUHELc2PpRI/AAAAAAAAIH4/yHfC… Ennen mikrotietokoneita<https://plus.google.com/u/0/photos/1147047054215289692… plus.google.com <https://plus.google.com/u/0/photos/114704705421528969208/albums/6114938694824762945/6295389986969789474?pid=6295389986969789474&oid=114704705421528969208> [https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-C5UxKPgn36k/V1231rfipCI/AAAAAAAANsc/_XH6… Ennen mikrotietokoneita<https://plus.google.com/u/0/photos/1147047054215289692… plus.google.com [https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-dtv6gHUFCkc/V0s0O79SoXI/AAAAAAAAMIY/4MyU2fJk-x06… IBM 1620 Model I - Uusi lelu kokoelmaan<http://ennenmikrotietokoneita.blogspot.fi/2016/06/ibm-1620-model-i-uusi-lelu-kokoelmaan.html> ennenmikrotietokoneita.blogspot.fi Vanhoja mini- ja keskustietokoneita k?sittelev? blogi teolliisuusautomaation historialla h?ystettyn?.

I have high 5 figures invested into a home soldering lab. I use a digital video scope now, however for 5-6 years before that, I used this scope nearly every day for mostly 0402/.5 mm pitch soldering and repair: http://www.amscope.com/3-5x-90x-simul-focal-articulating-zoom-stereo-micros… [1] Along with these eye pieces: http://www.amscope.com/pair-of-super-widefield-20x-microscope-eyepieces-30m… [2] The combination with swing arm allows me to move the scope anywhere on my work bench and gives a use-able work height of up to 18 inches underneath. I highly recommend it. -Alan P.S. Disregard the camera. I thought it would be useful when I bought it, but never once used it. On 2017-01-13 06:02, Alexandre Souza wrote:
