Pour les fêtes, osez la modernité. Prenez un ordinateur portable avec vous.
Moi ? j'ai toujours mon #Osborne depuis 1981. Avec #CPM, je peux tout faire.
Et vous ?

The phenomenon of a company being bankrupted by announcing a new version too early is often called ‘The #Osborne Effect’ after a computer company that suffered this failure. (j s) #OsborneComputerCorporation #Executive

“Last month #legislation quietly passed the federal #parliament that will allow for the storage and disposal of #NuclearWaste at the #Adelaide shipyard in #Osborne, which is 25 kilometres north-west of the city's #CBD and near the popular seaside suburb of #Semaphore and historic Port #Adelaide.”

Vediamo il passato a tinte rosa, ma anche il mondo del #retro ha avuto i suoi fallimenti. Dall'#AppleIII al #Plus4, dal #VirtualBoy all'#effetto #Osborne fino al #CASIO #Loopy, stereotipo con la console intorno

Another disgraceful #Sunak election bribe. So called Triple Lock Plus is a Tory U turn says #IFS. #Osborne got rid of #pensioner's tax allowance, now these devious Tories try to pull a fast one by reversing their own policy. UK electors won't be fooled https://rb.gy/108k59 Remember these deceitful Tories have imposed huge tax increases by freezing tax threshholds, again they tried to fool the British people. #ToryBribes #ToryCorruption #rejoinEU

I vividly remember the Osborne computer — and how very much I wanted one. Gareth Edwards's recounting of the Osborne saga is fascinating.

I love the Osborne's aesthetic. Just kick back in pseudo Oval Office, leather office chair, Osborne on the desk 1.2m away, with that 5" screen totally readable if you have opera glasses.

I've released a new version of my #infocom #z-machine #textadventure interpreter #Vezza for #CP/M and #M4ZVM for the #trs80 Model 1/3/4. There's some speed improvements, along with a reduced footprint (smaller file, more space for cache), and a bugfix for a rare edge case in error handling discovered through the release of Ghosts by @8bitgames

The colors and cans of the Osborne Family Spectacle of Dancing Lights, circa 2013. Can you spot the Hidden Mickeys?

I remember the first time I had daydreams about interrogating politicians for their crimes in office…it was while listening to George #Osborne spouting off about austerity on the Today programme.

I didn’t think I could loathe any Tory more…but I hadn’t seen the sordid road of incompetence, corruption, greed, lies and self interest that led to #Tories anointing Rishi #Sunak as PM:
