What are you doing right NOW??? ;)

If they can still use gopher, archie, veronica, jughead (single server search), text based ftp and the like they should be successful, otherwise it will be a monster endeavor as the memory accessibility is small, processor cache almost or completely nonexistent, video output (without massive work creating drivers if at all possible) is limited to cards built with the 8 bit interface. Al in all a daunting task that will require a lot of free time and/or a very generous and understanding boss.

I would like to see them do it.

They may be able to port an early Linux build also.

It has a hard drive that takes interchangeable discs, each holding 2.5mb. Each disc is over a foot in diameter.

When they started they discovered that mice had been living inside the computer which had been stored in a barn.
Here's the Wikipedia article. Xerox Alto - Wikipedia

The Alto is the computer that Steve Jobs saw at Xerox and led to Apple's introduction of the Macintosh with a GUI and mouse. Apple didn't invent either but did bring them to the general public at a price many could afford.

Taking my walk now, as long as there’s just a breeze and no storm.

Listening to the sound my washing machine makes while rotating wet laundry.

In a few hours I'll be listening to the sound my Laundry Monster makes while drowning in the Aqueous Agitator.

I’m listening to the noise of what sounds uncannily like a Tupolev 154 airliner’s “Kuznetsov NK-8-2” jet engine spooling up and down repeatedly during the landing phase. This is what my washing machine sounds like during the dry spin phase. I had many flights across Europe in the TU-154 as a passenger, years ago.

Having no power and Wi-Fi. Blackout in my village.

Edit:
Lasted for a few minutes.
Power is back, Wi-Fi as well.

Watching the storm raging outside. Listening to the rain beating against the wall of my house. Feeling really glad I’ve completed my workout.

Was the storm responsible for the power blackout? There’s something poetic about the sight of heavy rain trickling down the windows of your home, when you’re safe and warm inside [emoji4][emoji106]

I’m sure the storm was responsible. The blackout wasn’t only in Apetlon, but also in villages around us, as I’ve heard later.

The storm is still quite strong, and there have been casualties in other countries:

Good heavens! I had NO idea Central Europe was being pounded by a Hurricane [emoji15]. Glad you’re okay. The damage looks quite serious in places. How did I miss this? I have weather apps.....‍

Thank you! I’m fine, I didn’t leave my house since the storm started. It will be better tomorrow; the wind will not be as fierce as today.
