  • lol idle users.

  • Sweet! DalNet IRC!

  • I'm user "hoopy" :P

  • Speaking of the special feel of an old fashioned keyboard I recently rebuild a Vic 20. I found one for spare parts that had a great 70's style keyboard and I installed it in the Vic 20 I was fixing. I get that same beautiful clunking sound. I know that feeling my friend. Savior it. :-)

  • is there any documentation of how is this done?

  • there was something so satisfying about the feel and sound of typing on the trs 80 keyboard that kachunk sound in this video brings me back!

  • Excellent!

  • Excellent! I have found that the issue you see in irssi overwriting some lines near the end of the window rather than scrolling is solved with VT220 emulation but I wouldn't be surprised if the best you can find on a Model 4 is VT100/102.

    Curious - what result do you have running nano? That will absolutely not display properly on my Commodore 128 (which can only do up to VT102), but my Apple //e can deal with it (with MODEM.MGR which does VT220).

  • Sweet Thx for sharing
