    anyone using retro hardare? <3

    i cant be the onmly retro system on fsx net?

    You'd be surprised. I can't see myself, though, using retro systems since my experience using them have been rather sour. Aging hardware tend to be high maintenance with my luck and I end up spending more time fixing them than enjoying it. Also, I've resorted to using rpi rigs for my home computing needs. This means far less electricity utilization as well as heat in my den during the summer. I think this upgrade has dropped ambient temperature by fifteen degrees during peak summer heat and that's huge for me.

    What 286 rig are you using? What are the stats?

    D

    ... What do you mean, QWK? It took me over an hour to read!

    Is English an option on the Museum?

    Hey, as while in the museum and messages yes, for sure :-).
    On the Website it is much more effort to keep the website in both English and German and as i am the only person doing it, i keep it in German only.

    I thought about also adding Czech as we are living right next to the boarder.

    But if anyone would like to take a tour it would be amazing.

    I looked at Your Museum webpages again today.

    On the /kontakt page is a map.
    I have two World Atlas books and didn't see Nieder-Osterrich in the index of either book.
    I also looked to see if I could see the City on the Germany map page(s) but not able to figure out what area in Germany Your Museum is located.

    As an aside, I shop at Aldi Grocery Store here in Indiana.

    I hadn't heard of Muffin Term... Looks pretty decent from the website...
    When on macOS I've literally been using the built in Terminal app, with a customised profile installed for ANSI BBS use...

    I'll download it later and play - still kinda wish there was a macOS native
    app for NetRunner that used the same address book file... then I would sync that between my Windows PCs and Macs!

    Hi Mary

    On the odd occasion I pull out one of my Compaq Portable machines. I have both the 286 and 386 - both the gas plasma display, not the CRT version.

    I do have some other retro systems that are in need of repair / rebuild / etc...

    All too much tasking not enough timing...

    can you tell me your settings for the terminal app?

    btw MuffinTerm is awesome for MacOS/iOS!

    I downloaded some from the internet 'somewhere' - I have a copy stashed away here: https://cdn.drf-solutions.net/software/Software%20For%20Multi-OS/BBS/MysticBBS/ NetRunner%20Client/Mac/macOS%20Terminal%20App%20Profile/ANSIBBS.terminal

    Import that into Terminal as a new profile and then open a new Terminal
    window with the new profile. Its not perfect, and does require some tweaking, but in its stock form, its not too bad. I think it requires a certain font - can't recall which.

    Good luck!

    can you tell me your settings for the terminal app?

    I got a font called Perfect DOS VGA 437 and set that in the Terminal profile under 'Texs'. Under 'Advanced' I set the terminal as 'ansi' and atthe bottom I changed 'Text encoding:' to 'Western (ASCII)'.

    I saw an ad for the "FIRST" anti-blue-light PC, and originally thought
    of the gas plasma Compaqs. Nice systems. I had a Compaq portable II for
    a while, had the green CRT though. Lots of fun, hated the squishy
    keyboard. :(
