Now that I have a house (and a 20' x 20' shed) I will start working on a RetroChallenge project as well. It's nice to have some space finally. Not sure what I will do - software is probably more my field.

Well, I know that the #1 use for my Tandy 102, note taking, could be done in a standard notebook, but clearly that's not any fun is it?
I'm not sure what I'll do this year, I kinda blew one project idea by doing it early because I was impatient and didn't want to just sit on my project 'til January. Oh well, maybe I'll do more work on my Tandy 102 based BBS concept. Still having problems hosting it though, since the university doesn't let me have access on the ports I want. I also got a IIc which I haven't done anything with, maybe it's time for a project there. After all, the Apple II was my first computer, and the first I learned to write code for. Not to mention it's much easier to take on the BBS than the Tandy.
EDIT: as for cool RetroChallenge emblazoned junk, how about some people design a nice retro wallpaper background for the group. I might do some ASCII art, mix with some other cool looking elements, and wrap the whole thing in BMP or PNG format for the delectation of RetroChallengers.

While I can't heat my room with my computers, I can warm my lap with my Lombard. 🙂
I've been learning web development in this little beastie for the last few months. Maybe I'll set up ColdFusion on it. :lol:

ahem..
as far as wallpaper, we did that in 2007 summer i think it was and it was a nice touch i thought. it was a nice thought that everyone dumb enough to do the RC had the same wallpaper
so a big yeah from me for the wallpaper idea.

True - but now I have the space to actually sort through my collection and find the hardware I wish to use to compile the software. [🙂] ]'>

Yay for doodles! That's really the only reason I keep bringing a regular notebook to some classes- not enough notes needing to be taken to justify the laptop, but yet boring enough to require doodling space. Not to mention that the notebook and pencil has an extremely intuitive user interface and is quite reliable... :lol:
