I've thinking about a School friend a lot recently wondering whatever happened to him. It's a hell of a long shot but has anyone come across a guy called Ken Weston from Leicester (Oadby) who last I heard (Around 1985/1986) became a Pagan (Wiccan) and travelled the festival circuit in the UK on a canal boat

@nina_kali_nina@tech.lgbt The Apricot range were nice machines although as you say not that IBM PC compatable (quite a few British machines of the time were IBM PC-ish but not compatable) The screen was great to look at for hours and hours without eyestrain. I did quite a few of my early contracts programming them. Mostly using the Alpha database although iirc Dataease and Sensible Solution DB/4GL and I think TAS and Multisoft/MOSS ran on it too

I’m always amused when movies set in the present day have scene with a crowd of press photographers and use the whirring of 35mm film motor drives as a sound effect.

It’s similar to the (until recently almost universally used) sound effect of a dial tone to indicate being hung up on. Except that real phones never actually worked like that. You’d just hear a click

I still wear a mask to class, on trains and planes, and when in crowded indoor spaces, because I am human who relies on a human body, and am addicted to regular respiration.
