The Million Dolar Homepage:
In 2005, a British student sold 1 million pixels on milliondollarhomepage.com for 1 dollar each.
Within 1 year all pixels were sold.

Was my first computer too πŸ˜€. Bought it on sep 9, 1982.
Didn’t have the money for the voice synthesizer….
Had lots of fun with it. #nostalgia #16bitcomputer #basic

regularly do my thoughts turn to the 1997 eMate 300 from Apple - which I actually got to play with as my dad was working in edtech sales for Apple at the time.

A Newton eMate 300, a small laptop looking thing, with a black and white, backlit screen and a small green stylus. In the screen is a very bad drawing of a cat labeled "Basil"

today's successful project: I just took apart this Newton eMate 300's battery pack, popped in 4 new cells, and soldered it back together; now it's charging, and seems to hold charge!

was lucky enough to get one in pristine condition too!!!

An Apple Newton eMate 300.  The screen is illuminated and reads, "Hi Bluesky!  I'm an Apple Newton eMate 300 from 1997.  I can't do much online anymore but I still work."

Anyone into old laptops and laptop-like devices? I have more than a few, ranging from "about this useful" to "can still be used as a workhorse today." This is an Apple Newton eMate 300, more of a PDA disguised as a laptop and targeted at the education market, from 1997.

I tried to explain the ZX Spectrum to my son. It didn’t go well Dominik Diamond (The Guardian)

"The parents of the home computer gamers of the 1980s presumably hoped we’d become programmers or accountants, but instead their kids ended up like me."
