I didn't have a Gateway 2000, but my friend did, and it came with an amazing keyboard with programmable macros. I was able to get one of those and used it for a few years, and never understood why such a thing wasn't more common.
Re:Ask HN: Any good Silicon Valley Photo coffee table books?

Check out “Songbook” by Alec Soth. He’s an amazing photographer, and while the book isn’t exclusively Silicon Valley, there’s some great photos of various campuses and areas that feel timeless.

Re:Show HN: Augmented Reality App to Predict the Sun and Moon Location

First, as the developer of one of the existing apps (Sun Surveyor) in the space, congratulations! Long time HN lurker; never expected to see this space come up here. My experience with it has been incredibly fulfilling, and I never knew about Sun Seeker et all (or the difficulty involved in some aspects) when I started or I may not have. I'd love to compare notes sometime.
Second, I see you have a lite and pro app. I'm curious what made you choose that model; when I released my app there were no IAPs, and now it's almost too troublesome to try to switch to that model for me. It's rare to see a non-IAP model these days so just curious how it's working out for you and your rationale! I certainly wish I could just have IAP.
