First thing I thought of! Especially the picture in the header.

Why does Ross, the largest friend, not simply eat the other friends?

Oh no! This is almost as bad a time sink as tvtropes! I haven't seen it in years and it is a shame it no longer gets updated.

This is a great site! The Stunt Plane is a design I learned from a book as a kid and is still my go-to when my kids want me to make a plane.

Time to pick up a few more.

As a kid in the mid-80's I once woke up with a bit of a belly ache and thought "I can milk this for a day off school to play with Lego"

Ended up having an emergency appendectomy that night.

For now any screens using the Amiga's on board chips will use the original video outputs. Only RTG screens are displayed via HDMI.

This will change in an upcoming release.

The 512K chip ram does limit the games it will run. I'm mainly using it for writing code and other OS friendly stuff.

I'm keenly looking forward to the Gold 3 update which will give it 4MB chip ram and AGA output via HDMI.

I read Stoll's book Silicon Snake Oil back then and thought it a bit short sighted too. It's amazing how much the Internet experience has changed in 20 years - and not all of it for the better.

Also, the fact that there's a typo directly above the phrase "Lacking editors, reviewers or critics" made me chuckle.

I've read Neuromancer and Snow Crash about once a year for nearly 20 years.

Michael Marshall Smith's early sci-fi books, Only Forward and Spares, have also had many re-reads.

A lot of early surface mount capacitors seem prone to leaking corrosive crap onto the boards they're soldered to. This seems to affect machines from the late 80's to the mid 90s. Older through-hole caps can leak too but are more robust or tend to do so through their tops. Machines made be cheap-ass bastards like Commodore suffer from this a lot.

How about :≡ ?

My in-laws have a 2009 iMac that's still going strong. Last year I replaced the HD with an SSD (nervously using suction cups to get the screen off while my F-i-L watches over my shoulder...)

My wife's 2011 MBP also gained a new lease on life with an SSD.
