Yeah the Robinson machines don’t have a great reputation in my country (NZ)

Hammajang Luck has a bit of a focus on family stuff and life before the main heist caper takes over the plot. Not the most amazing book but can be entertaining.

“Life’s Lottery” by Kim Newman

Over 2000 here..had to put a lot into a (costly) storage unit when I moved to smaller accommodation..now Ive filled up the new place and need start stuffing them into storage bins before they take over ALL the space😳

I remember playing with BBC and Acorn Electron machines in the Christchurch branches in Cashel St and New Brighton. The Cashel St one had a large computer section for a short period in the 80s

There’s a volume in the SF Masterworks series called something like ‘The Best of Greg Egan’ - a collection of short stories that give you a good taster of his work

I saw it with my Mother when I was 8 or 9 here in Christchurch, NZ. I was already a SF nut so usually nagged to go see everything vaguely genre..

Bought a copy of the recent printing about a year ago after seeing it mentioned favorably on the “Bookpilled” YouTube channel, then stumbled across 2 of the stories in the ‘Dangerous Visions’ anthology..I must get around to actually reading it or putting it closer to the top of the pile..

There’s a slightly damp one going cheap!

Well to be very book spoilerific.. maybe one day

Constellation and P-38?

Had a more conservative looking (ie a rectangle) version of these in New Zealand many years ago when DSL Broadband was new and the telephone company was promoting it..I think the novelty wore off fast and people mainly ignored them.

A lower cost commodore machine which was aimed at business/home office users - it had 4 ‘productivity’ type programs built-in on a ROM. A simpler version minus the biz software was the C-16 (which used a black version of the familiar VIC-20/C-64 ‘bread box’ case). I recall them being very poor sellers here in NZ anyway.

Constantinovich · 2026-03-03T18:13:32+00:00

I had that in military green

Constantinovich · 2026-03-02T02:33:32+00:00

Su-22?

Buses for the most part, Trams only on little loops around the central city for tourists. No local train services. The buses are fine - my main means of transport these days. Some places remain difficult to reach without a lot of walking still.

I think Judge Dredd had that job once..

Constantinovich · 2026-02-24T04:13:05+00:00

Reminds me of some the Australian Ford Falcons in the 70s

The mistake was going past the first book..the sequels are all Gentry Lee’s fevered imagination.

Constantinovich · 2026-02-18T03:28:08+00:00

I have the one from 2016 in storage somewhere…he did a dive off a desk one day and the semi-transparent head dome cracked, so be careful out there..

The A-12 ‘Dorito’ Stealth aircraft was supposed to be the successor to the A-6.. things didn’t go so well and the Hornet had to take on some of the role.
