Do you remember that today is the anniversary of Sinclair ZX81 appeared to the market? It is thirty years now. Thus began the era of home computers. The heart of the computer was a Zilog Z80 microprocessor clocked at 3.25 Mhz. The basic version of the computer had one kilobyte of memory (two million times smaller than a modern laptop to 2GB of memory). Programs were loaded with cassette tapes connected via an ordinary tape recorder. The screen had a resolution of 64 to 44 pixels. It was produced for 3 years, until 1984. Sold over half a million copies. Great times don’t you think? :)

yeah, rock on with CRTs. More bang for your buck, and when you put it in a corner, the CRT’s extra size isn’t as much of a factor. Not that I don’t use LCDs whenever possible. Not that I don’t have them installed at all my clients’ offices. But I just bought a computer off of a friend, and Guild Wars looks amazing at 1600×1200 on max everything. Besides, after the cost of the computer, you use whatever you’ve got until the paycheck arrives. I can’t believe everyone’s offloading their CRTs! They make great server terminal consoles. I mean…yeah. Does anyone use an LCD as a server screen? I guess if space was limited…

[/offtopic] I seem to remember doing something similar with a game system a while back, and something was picking up the sound. Guess that was just unshielded cabling, but anyone with a Nokia will recognize the buzzing noise emitted from nearby speakers when the cellular transmissions come in. This whole thing also reminds me of that hack with the DS a while back where images were being picked up on a nearby Watchman.

…and people are surprised by hackers sniffing their “private” transmissions? lol. sorry for the musing.

I’m using 2 CRT’s, 21 and 17 inch. Cheaper, more resolutions, but the 21in is HEAVY!

That’s pretty cool.

Did anyone get the MP3 playback to work, though? For me, it runs through the whole MP3 in like 5 seconds and doesn’t sound anything like it should. I looked at the code, and I don’t see anything that should slow it down. I’m using the proprietary NVidia drivers, and I tried both settings for VSYNC.

To post 11!… I remember my Dad typing in something from a magazine that did that on our zx81. You could press keys on the keyboard to create different notes.

I can’t remember the make of the tv but it was white plastic with two black knobs, one for tuning to the channels and one for volume(on/off). The picture was b/w as well.
