It had no internet and the additional drives that plugged in were I think 125k, which seemed huge back then.
At the time it felt a great leap forward. It had a monochrome display, but we knew no better.
These days it looks very backward. I think somewhere I still have mine.
The museum is amazing and must be one of the best local museums in the country.
We enjoy chatting to visitors who, without fail, are amazed by the extent and content.
When little, our grandchildren always wanted to go. One even thought the grass outside the windmill was part of our garden!

At the moment I fancy trying something different. I am not sure what.
Maybe a different band for FT8?
I shall probably still go on 10m WSPR TX with my beacon.
As is usual now, I was on 630m WSPR RX last evening and overnight and spotted CU8 for the first time.
This is the furthest I have spotted on the band in many years at 2799km. The map shows where I spotted stations.
One of the lessons getting old teaches you is nothing lasts for ever.
Things that have always seemed the same change. Grandchildren grow up, people die , places change.
At one level things seem the same but always things are changing.
The passing of time is very odd. Nothing is for ever, except perhaps love.
My beacon was turned on at about 0645z.
For a long time, I have been of the view that readily available 433MHz ISM modules which are licence free at 10mW could be used at the heart...
