When I was a kid, an SX-64 was the ultimate personal computer. Great to see that they’re still being restored.

For some reason the images are taking forever to load, I can only see a tiny sliver of a few of them. No caching? Huge files?

The files are huge (in pixels and bytes), plus the HN hug of death.

Apparently still being hugged. Can't load a single image on a gigabit connection.
