I briefly looked into this, a little over a year ago. This time, I took a little more time and was more successful. I Found and downloaded two Linux emulators…microm8 and linapple. The Apple II is so iconic…how could I not look into it? The TRS-80, Apple and Commodore Pet, were the 3 most popular …

Amazon raises free shipping to $35
I don’t have Prime. But I still use to be able to buy $25 of merchandise, to get free shipping. I almost always have been willing to wait a little longer to use free shipping. For me it always made sense to add item(s), if needed to reach $25. Especially if shipping is > $5. …
Qubes OS…Interesting secure OS.
Look here.
Raspberry Pi 5 shipping in Oct?
Read here. First update in 4 years. I bought my Raspberry Pi 4, four months ago, now they come out with a new model. You’re welcome nerds. I control these things. Is it too sunny outside? I’ll just plan a trip to the beach. Is it too windy? I’ll try and fly a kite. Not …
MVS local printing under VM/370
I admit, I am puzzled over MVS local printing under VM/370. DOS/VS printing, (CLASS=A,DISP=D), goes to VM/370 local (/io) print. Why doesn’t MVS’s (MSGCLASS=A)?

So I looked at that today. And this is the result. The 1st screen says Operator, but it’s already running on the hercules console.. This is what produced …
Signal…another rant!
What’s with Signal not allowing you to easily print or export your own texts? Even the government declassifies top secret information from time to time. Why can’t I declassify my own information? How about you protect my texts on the way to me…but after it gets to me safely…allow me to manage it!
Signal on new phone
Well I installed Signal on my new phone and lost all my old texts. Yes I had a backup, but no I don’t have the 30 digit restore code, that I ranted about before, because I was never shown it. I still can look at my old messages on my old phone…as long as I …
VM/370 Timezone offset
Added TZOFFSET -0400, to hercules config file for South Florida.
VM/370 un-DIAL video
I made/uploaded a quick YouTube video. Mostly because I’ve been working more with VM/370 CE, which leads to me working more with the other OS’s, and some things are coming back to me, and…I’m bored!
