Luckily (?) these days I’m usually only using the machine for one program at a time so I can set it up and not worry about breaking everything else, until I switch to something else then repeat

Thanks to @rageretro.bsky.social and @computinghistory.org.uk for organising and hosting the inaugural meeting of the Cambridge Computer Club today. I got to play with a SuperPET and type in a FORTRAN program that worked! (thanks to everyone else doing the Googling)

I had a mooch around the Bring n Byte sale at Cambridge Centre for Computing History. My aim was to take £50 and see if I could buy something "weird".
Best laid plans and all that!

These are some Asteroids controllers I made for Retrofest, one for the Vectrex the other Atari but I foolishly didn’t label any of the buttons - mistake! A custom overlay would be nice but I got the label printer out, white text on clear is now my new favourite thing
