I did the same, but with an Oric Atmos (6502). It came with an amazing manual, which I've recently had another look at. It taught BASIC, character graphics, machine code, binary and how negative numbers are represented, memory addressing, addressing modes, registers, and the instruction set, explaining each instruction, the machine's memory map, ASCII, lists of binary, hex and decimal conversions and tables of op-codes, ROM routines with call and return parameter registers, circuitry of the machine, and a decent index. I think I learnt more about computers from that book than from any other.

Possibly, but this could also be the day that animals we now eat are considered useless to us and so not worth caring about. They could be driven to extinction if we decide to use the land for other purposes, such as building huge labs to produce the meat. So we'll need to think about keeping areas available for animals. And enough people will need to care.

I just had another listen to Stevie Wonder's Superstition to hear TONTO. It's interesting to see the bulk of equipment back then, compared to what would be needed now to create the same sounds. It's like looking back at those huge computers that had far less processing power than the phone in your pocket. But in the right hands, wonderful things could be achieved.

I tried the word pigeon, surely an innocent word, and this was the first result:

“The cum of the patriarchy is highly concentrated power-giving semen.”
