March 27, 2011 – eBook Version of Priming the Pump

Theresa Welsh let me know that there is now an eBook version of the TRS-80 related book “Priming the Pump: How TRS-80 Enthusiasts Sparked the PC Revolution”. The announcement is as follows:

Priming the Pump: How TRS-80 Enthusiasts Sparked the PC Revolution, is in its second printing and we have just released it in two eBook formats: for the Kindle (sold by amazon.com) and for the Nook (sold by Barnes & Noble). These versions include illustrations in color (those that originally had color — some illustrations are original black & white photos, but we have many old magazine ads that are color, but appear in the printed book as black & white). The price for the ebook version is only $9.95.

Here are the links to where the ebook versions can be purchased:

Kindle version: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B004P8JNIS

Nook version: http://search.barnesandnoble.com/Priming-the-Pump/David-Welsh/e/2940012366122/?itm=1&USRI=priming+the+pump#TABS

People who don’t have an eReader can still view these versions by downloading the “Kindle for PC” app or the “Nook for PC” app available at amazon.com or barnesandnoble.com.

April 20, 2010 – Revlon Run/Walk for Cancer

The time of the year has arrived for my only charity solicitation! For those who have lost someone to breast cancer, or wish to donate toward the cure, my wife is participating in the Revlon Run/Walk for Cancer. If you wish to donate, go to this site

https://www.revlonrunwalk.com/la/secure/mywebpage.cfm?pID=563055

NOTE: Nothing comes to me, nothing comes to the site; this is a direct matter between you and the charity. All donations are U.S. tax-deductible (to the extent allowed by law; the site says it and so will I).

The TRS-80 DOS page has been updated to include command references for DOSPLUS 3.5. The page is still under construction as far as I need to add information ABOUT the DOS, but the command reference is complete..

July 17, 2009 – Puget Systems

July 17, 2009 – Puget Systems

I realize this is off topic, but when you come across something really cool, sometimes you gotta mention it. Although my TRS-80 was the last system I had purchased as an assembled unit (preferring to build my own), I have been familiar with Puget Systems for a while. Puget allows you to select brands and types (A corsair TX 850 power supply or w WD Caviar SE16) rather than just generic (850 watt; 200GB Hard drive, etc). I elected to go with them and, although I have not yet received the system, every question I have asked them (and I have asked a TON) has always been met with a quick and technologically correct answer. What I just noticed, though, is their order status page. This thing not only has each component and each test they ran, but temperature logs of the system under load over time, and performance benchmarks. They also email pictures of the inside, front, and back of your computer once its built, including a thermal picture of the inside. Crazy stuff.

Oh, and for the skeptics out there, NO I am not getting any payment from them. I am just THAT impressed (kinda like the way I talk about Matthew Reed’s emulator).
