Cishet white male. Offspring of immigrants. Free software and self-hosting advocate. Socialist. Anticapitalist. European. I acknowledge the incongruence of this list! Right now I'm enjoying retrocomputing projects on an eight-bit Atari 800 and 130XE, a sixteen-bit Atari 520STFM and a 32-bit 1996 IBM Thinkpad. I'm interested in operating systems, application and utility software, the claims made about the future we were promised with these machines, and the present we've ended up with.

@AdrianRiskin thank you for sharing that story. The PET is probably repairable for not much money!
