Lots of Radio 4 programmes are available as podcasts, and it is possible to stream BBC radio outside the UK without a VPN - see the links here:

I quite like the "new" WKRP (in Cincinnati of course), it doesn't seem to be a corporate cookie-cutter kind of station, and it plays the kind of thing the TV version would probably play today (and they even use the same jingles):

You should run something like Void, Alpine or antiX on these. HaikuOS also runs really well on them if you don't need actual Linux.

Also, honourable mention for the Sinclair QL (though it was a 68008 machine).

"To get your work off the key, just insert the key into a computer that's already running any more modern OS than DOS."

Haiku OS is a better choice. Runs great on my eeepc 701 4G with 512Mb RAM.

Yes, I was surprised that MX didn't get a mention. It's great on anything with 2GB or more.

You can also emulate a Pi using QEMU to run Mathematica (slowly!) on other platforms, see e.g.

Obligatory mention for tvdawn.com, which I've just discovered has gone, but has been archived:

Well, interesting things are expected to happen above the Schwinger limit:

Reminds me of "pykrete" which was also a potential construction material for ships (notably aircraft carriers) proposed during WWII:

Works for ChatGPT!

Something like Feynman's algorithm:

1. Write down the problem.

2. Think very hard.

3. Write down the solution.

It's essentially saying that you start with an outline, then progressively fill in the sections, iterating and providing more detail at each iteration. I do something similar, which is why I prefer to work in outline mode (e.g. in MS Word) as it is the most flexible and "minimalist" mode for structured writing.

Sounds like Scratch:

You could just use RISC OS on the PI for BBC Basic.

Wasn't it because Jack Tramiel was too cheap and just wanted to make use of his existing MS BASIC licence?

Fonts are generally included in DOS applications, but the point of a "writerdeck" is to be distraction-free, hence no need for wifi.

Why not just use DOS? e.g.:

At least the laptops that can still run DOS natively tend to have fairly good keyboards...

"MOISTURISE ME!"

They might be thinking of the Bell+Howell clone:

Not to forget the Orion Pictures logo:

You're not thinking fourth-dimensionally!

It's also a notoriously difficult experiment to perform. When I did it at university, the value of G I got was out by an order of magnitude - and that was considered a good result!

Maybe you could get together with the SpaceHey guy:

Apparently she was 4 at the time and lived next door:

Presumably Cornelius Roosevelt.

Moksha (a fork of e17) is the main desktop for Bodhi Linux, an unofficial Ubuntu-based distro:

They're up to e27 now, it even supports Wayland.

Or just install Win10 IoT LTSC, which is supported until 2032.
