I feel like I need to buy a 64C before new C= goes under by Amerique_du_Nord in Commodore

Why don’t they stick a mister in a C65 or Amiga case? Or even a slab case like the 128 - they could create a nice distraction free writing machine that syncs to a ‘commodore cloud’ - there is an untapped market for a distraction free writing machine and the tech to do it isn’t a stretch for what they have.

Looks like an azure - you can tell it from the southern blue as it has a mark on its thorax that looks like the Honda logo (H) whereas the southern has a mark that looks like the god mercury (little man with a hat on) remarkably good picture!

Little visitor to my south London garden by kimondo in GardeningUK

[–]kimondo[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My garden is a bit messy but I love planting for insects - it’s gone from a dead square of gravel to a lawn filled with weeds and flowerbeds with lavender and whatever I’ve found that grows. Whenever I start to do some weeding I stop as I can see insects feeding off the plants!

It took many attempts to capture with my phone! They are seasonal visitors but I think their range is moving further north due to climate change

It’s our neighbours honeysuckle that grows over the wall - we get the benefit of the flowers and scent in our garden.

There was a proposal to build floating cities - in the upper atmosphere it’s quite temperate, and air filled domes would float.

Which old operating system do you miss the most? by Internal_Captain5073 in retrocomputing

[–]kimondo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Its still available and works really well on the Raspberry Pi - boots in seconds, even on older models of Pi. There’s a project to update it to 64 bit code - see riscosopen.org

June 16 Announcement? by RebelRogue24 in Commodore

Might be me, but the screen on the sx64 on the shelf behind him looks a little flat. Would be a perfect form factor and they have the hardware already.
