Dear Fediverse! Being German, I'm quite familiar with German computer magazines. But not with the UK and US world. What were the “professional level” computer magazines in ca. 1980-2010 which wrote about enterprise IT, Unix, supercomputers, hardware? I'm NOT (yet) interested in software engineering or programming languages and also not very much in Linux.
I already know BYTE magazine, Unix Review and several 8bit related magazines. What else? #vintagecomputing #retrocomputing #techhistory

@tankgrrl Nice! We were there a week ago at the new INIT HELLO Apple II conference and didn't see that little guy sidled up to the real thing. Very nice!

Ok now that's curious, watched the music video for "Dire Straits - Money For Nothing" and was like wow that's old what the heck did use to make that animation.
Turns out it was a Bosch FGS-4000, what a rabbit hole, looking up that system pretty much had no info to be found and not a single picture.
Now that would be a fun dive for any #vintagecomputing fan.
Only small info I could find was this thread:

Vintage Computer Federation ForumsBosch FGS 4000This is a stretch, but does anyone have any specs (especially CPU- curious) on this machines or pictures if they own one? The information on Google is lacking, and there's rather few pictures that aren't thumbnails or part of an advertisement.

Soll ich meinen #Amiga 1200 ...
I was really tempted by this Heathkit system at Free Geek Twin Cities today but I just don't need ANOTHER major project system added to my queue.
Decisions, decisions. Upgrade the Amiga 600 to Kickstart/Workbench 3.2.3 or downgrade to a more old school Amiga compatible 3.1? Pros and cons for both, I guess. It’s got a Furia in there and is currently running 3.2.1 quite happily.

I finally managed to repair my Amiga600’s disk drive today! Gave it a good clean and checked the alignment, too. I can play Turrican from disk again! Video coming soon. #Amiga #Commodore #Repair #RetroComputing #VintageComputing
