My brain would go there every time he was mentioned in a broadcast.
Could have mentioned the use of the 6809 in the Radio Shack TRS-80 Color Computer and the Dragon in the UK. Using the TRS-80 tag on something not using a Z-80 never made sense.

Taught myself Java in 1997 and was able have it do the heavy lifting over the years. Have "kicked the tires" on a lot technologies over the years for side-projects evidenced by the menagerie of repositories on my GitHub.
Coleco known for the ColecoVision home video game system and the Coleco Adam home computer started out as the "Connecticut Leather Company" in 1932. The business supplied leather and "shoe findings" (the supplies and paraphernalia of a shoe repair shop) to shoe repairers.
The idea of turning this into a simulation game is a possibility hence "warz" in the name.
It is a bunch of Jupyter notebooks being served by Voila. The "Blank.ipynb" one is more interactive but the ergonomics need work.
It is running free tier hosting so it could swamped if enough people use it simultaneously:

There are instructions to run locally via Docker in the README.md
Likewise, my generation is dealing with an explosion of easy to consume streams of information and entertainment and we are kind of blindsided by that I have to conscientious of spending too much time consuming online information with Reddit being my biggest vice.

Bad stuff has always happened, but when something bad happens now, more people are made aware of it.
For example, when I was in high school in the the early '80s there was a shooting at a high school in my Midwestern US city. A kid brought a gun to school and shot two kids who said something about his brother. The shooter then turned the gun on himself. One of the other kids died too.
This was big news locally, I don't remember national TV coverage of it. There was no internet so if someone was 500 miles away, they never knew about it. It didn't spur a national debate about gun control, kid's mental health or school safety.

The "hacking" was decrypting social security numbers from BASE64.
Easier life with things like plentiful food and entertainment options requires willpower to not over-indulge. A factory worker or subsistence farmer didn't have force themselves to exercise or worry about spending to much time watching TV. They had to work to not starve.
Maybe the Kzinti will think we are long lost relatives after receiving them.
I wrote it to be able to extract exceptional plays from footage of my daughter's volleyball teams and be able to zoom in on each clip. Pretty much a minimal viable product.
