Finished a nerdy-fun project this week.
My first computer (1983ish) was an Apple IIe, so I recreated that original 5.25 floppy drive as an external enclosure for a new disk cloning station.
And thumbs up on the Carbide 3D Jog Pendant. My Shapeoko 3XL continues to be a rock solid machine, impressed that even after 6 years a new device just plugs in and works.
Very cool, Robert. The first computer I also used (but not owned) was a IIe. The Macs I owned had Motorola chips, I stopped paying attention to Apple when they started talking about going to Intel chips…
My dad had one when I was growing up. I still remember some of the quirks of easily word processing from it. My grandfather worked at TI back in their glory days, so he had a whole room dedicated to computers.
