I know I harp on about it... but this is my IBM Model M keyboard I bought new 37 years ago and still use every single day.

The pic was from early 2014.

Ahhhh, you're one of those people, although unless you've got the matching IBM Model 6450350 mouse you're just pretending

I used one of those for about five minutes before I replaced it with a better one

My Samsung Neo G8 died out of warranty I feel so naked without a second monitor. Great timing though as Scorptec have a decent monitor sale at the moment so grabbed the Gigabyte fo32u2p for about $800 off so now will have two OLEDs. Just have to wait until boxing day.

Just received my new Commodore 64.

I will update with information if anyone is interested.

First computer we had when I was a kid. Wizard of Wor and International Soccer made that Christmas morning amazing.

Is this the C64 Ultimate? Was keen but not sure I could justify it at the cost.

Ended up got the C64 themed 8bitdo keyboard the other day.

Going from a curved to a flat takes more adjustment than the other way around. It felt like the flat monitor was actually curved backwards!

Yes, the Ultimate, cost me more than I should've spent on it.

I think I've broken my eyeballs, I've got a curved and a straight next to each other and barely notice a difference. Same with going from my 32" 4K flat at work to one of the 34" ultrawides the plebs use

The pre-built I bought during covid lockdown - and have upgraded parts since - has had one of the RAM modules fail in recent months
.
So I am now running 2x DDR4 and 1x low profile DDR4 (for AIO clearance). It hasn't bothered me too much to replace albeit not ideal having a module in single channel.

But having received a death estate payout recently I thought I'd replace it.
**** me sideways. Just a basic 8-16gb low profile ddr4 (singular kingston replacement or new 2 stick set) is like asking the bank for a small loan.

At this point it's probably cheaper to buy a couple of refurbed HP/Dell desktops and rip out the RAM

I've been wanting to upgrade from 16gb to 32gb for a while now and the prices just make it see not worth it- especially since I am planning on an upgrade in the next couple of years.
