In life you have to appreciate the simple & funny things, like when your teen & pre-teen daughters print out various #SouthPark balls meme's then tape them on monitors in the house. I discovered this one on my monitor tonight. 😂
Glad to see they were having a good & fun day!

Geez, I have a #Datasette issue, I keep acquiring them!
Today Fedex dropped off this GE Datasette. They are slow but there is just something about them that fascinates me from the time I saw my 1st one working on a brand new Sinclair 1000 in early 80s all the way up to today.

A couple new RAM testers have arrived, has anyone used these? For the price they seem like they will be a huge help with 8-Bit machines, I will try them out very soon on a project.

Hold on to something, the earth stopped for a second!
I returned to my RSPOS inventory system today to continue some development, I last worked on it back in Oct. Started on the UTILITIES function which will be key for software updates & data backup.
*RL is slowing progress.

Life is funny. Those tapes I posted yesterday, were given to me out of the blue & compliment this like new Emerson Data Recorder that arrived today. This tape player was a super steal that I could not resist w/the "Computer" references on it.
