We should have gone to the International
Map Fair instead. If anything,
this year's Miami
HAMFest was smaller and less thrilling than last year and that's saying
something!
Outside the world of PCs, there
were very few Macs for sale (one, a Mac laptop, didn't work) and a Sun
SPARCStation 2 (but for $100, no thank you). Even worse, we only saw two
(2!) PS/2 keyboards, and only one for sale seperately from a computer and
even then, it had key caps missing (Mark picked that one up).
The only interesting things I picked up this year were a slide ruler and a
24-hour analog clock for the Computer Room.
Overall, a very disappointing year
You have my permission to link freely to any entry here. Go
ahead, I won't bite. I promise.
The dates are the permanent links to that day's entries (or
entry, if there is only one entry). The titles are the permanent
links to that entry only. The format for the links are
simple: Start with the base link for this site: https://boston.conman.org/, then add the date you are
interested in, say 2000/08/01,
so that would make the final URL:
https://boston.conman.org/2000/08/01
You can also specify the entire month by leaving off the day
portion. You can even select an arbitrary portion of time.
You may also note subtle shading of the links and that's
intentional: the “closer” the link is (relative to the
page) the “brighter” it appears. It's an experiment in
using color shading to denote the distance a link is from here. If
you don't notice it, don't worry; it's not all that
important.
