Ironically enough, I agree. I loathe trying to get information out of videos. To pick an example _completely at random_: trying to get information on how to do video editing stuff …

There is not, because none of it was scripted and any semblance of narrative flow was crudely faked in editing. But it's a reasonable request. I'll try pushing the audio through Wh…

Hello --- author here; thanks for the kind words! Responding to a few random things posted here: - yes, that 8080 emulator ought to work fine. Not sure what the performance would b…

Sadly they're only available in the US, and it would triple the cost to get one sent to me in Switzerland! Fuzix would suffer from the same address space problem, however, but as t…

I have a PX-8. It does work with tape, but very badly --- it's slow even for tape and painfully limited. It emulated a disk on tape, with automatic winding for access to multiple f…
