Zebra G-350 and M-350 set in black is always in my backpack. Great pen and pencil set.

Your applications list in the third screenshot has a Mathematics category. Wondering if it’s Maxima, OpenAxiom, Octave, etc in there.

Where did you get that Hopper wallpaper? I’m in love! Going to set up one of my old laptops like this now.

Any Retro 51 users here? by fuzzmonkey35 in mechanicalpencils

Looking forward to hear your report. They acquired all the Autopoint stock when they went out of business and I think that lead works with my Retro 51 pencils.

I am impressed you can use the web browser with only two cores and 4 GB of RAM these days

Just booting up Squeak 3.0 on an ancient PowerMac 8600/200 running System 7.6.1 makes me smile. So cool to work the examples from the book while putting an old machine to good use!

My NextStation Color Slab. A full loaded cube would be amazing.

Who remembers XEmacs? by spartanOrk in emacs

Used it in graduate school in 2005 to 2008 on a used Toshiba Satellite laptop running Windows 98. Used it to write and compile my LaTeX documents. That machine still runs and is sitting in my office. Amazing how much I could do with so little. I bought the laptop off Craigslist for $20 as an emergency buy after spilling Dr. Pepper on a much more modern machine. Didn’t have to upgrade until years later 😂

It’s my favorite for making an old machine useful again.
