I think someone is reusing a *slightly* outdated position description.

This might be the most disturbing red flag ive seen in a job listing in a while.

I have various other things I wasn't really planning on brining unless someone really REALLY wants them. namely, a TRS-80 model 3 with no display board or CRT. (id have to hunt down and put its power supply and board back in)
A box of Zeos 386 laptops with glitchy displays and a damaged power brick.
A spare Apple Image writer II that worked when I put it away.

Lastly is this Mac Performa 630 CD for parts.
It was sold to me disassembled, and I broke a piece of plastic trying to reassemble it so its staying disassembled.
The rear IO cover was broken when I received it, I'm not sure if all the pieces are included or not so this should only be used as a parts unit.
The seller said it was broken, but Ive done nothing with it as restoring my Imac G3 made me realize I hate old macs. Someone please take this horrid thing from me.

Updated picture.

Its still a beige box.

Next is the Apple IIGS I killed in this thread.

Im not totally against bringing this one back home with me if noone wants to trade something neat for it. My motivation to fix it kind of waned when I got a good deal on a working one.

First is this gateway E4200. It works fine, but does not include an HDD. The beige floppy drive seems to be out of alignment, hence the ugly black bezel drive that actually works. Its got that yellow sun patina.
The CD-ROM drive works, but makes alot of noise when opening and closing.
450 MHZ, 128 MB RAM, and an ATI Rage 128.

Posting some stuff i'm bring to #VCFMW to get rid of. Ive linked a post on Buy/sell/trade on the VCFMW website, I wish I had known it was there sooner lol.

I went for the other end of the difficulty spectrum with Colossus 4.0 on the #Commodore64. Ive heard that one was a very challenging chess game for its time, and it certainly beat me in both games I played.
unfortunately the monochrome sprites were very easy for me to mix up, and caused me a lot of eye strain so I only played two games before admitting defeat.
Id like to come back to this one.

Somehow, I don't have any chess games for Colecovision, Intellivision, Atari 7800, or 2600. Those are kind of the computers I had in mind for this.
Also, how on earth do I have this many math nerd games for the TI-99/4a but not chess?

First is "The Chessmaster" on the #SegaGamegear simply because I dont have to plug anything into a TV.
I'm impressed with how smooth it plays, but there is only one difficulty setting and it was quite an easy win, even for my idiot self.
Feeling fairly confident so far.

Despite knowing this is going to be awful, this thread will be my attempt to beat the computer at every 8 bit chess game I have.

I once forced one of my friends to play two innings in every single one of my 40 Famicom baseball games and I'm getting flashbacks to that.

Well, my toe stopped hurting but the pain kind of moved lower to the middle of my foot. It might be one of my shoes in the rotation is worn out, because the cushy socks Ive switched to make sprints really hard but the pain was much more bearable. Just two days off and I was getting really anxious and sad, I feel so much better now.
#running

Took a second day off from running because tomorrow morning is going to be in the 60s with almost 0% chance of rain.
Id rather try for a new PR and skip two 90+ degree days than have three mediocre miserable slogs.
It definitely isn't because my alarm didn't go off and I slept in several hours again ;) .

I used to host my instance on a DDR3 laptop and im tempted to go back to that rather than take up cores on my VMhost.
dedicated 4 cores, 32gb of ram, 2tb of storage, and a built in 4 hour UPS? yes please!

I had to throw out an unrestored (somewhat crappy) 8 track deck that had black mold contamination, and someone just bought another 8 track deck at a yard sale for me.

I might have some kind of curse where 8 track players just hunt me down.

I'm going to be seeing PostgreSQL errors in my sleep tonight. My comments all look like "# i don't know why this worked but DO NOT TOUCH THIS"
That stupid server is in hospice at this point until my new one is done.
Why do I do this to myself for free...

I finally got around to re-flowing most of the solder joints on my #commodore 1702 and the image is so crisp and gorgeous. I pretty much left the pots at their factory positions. I really should re-flow more of my CRT's solder joints. Cleaning the flux off is the only sucky part, but worth it.

I deep cleaned my house and Ive been having asthma attacks and extreme allergies for a week straight from the black mold I disturbed.
I'm getting close to being desperate enough to start trying things from my quack 1800s medical books.

Im cleaning out my coffee pot by running vinegar through it and I forgot to take out the grounds so there's vinegar coffee in the pot right now...

Ill be honest im tempted.
