I hate how they tell you the "American Dream" is just making money. I don't know about you, but when I was a child I didn't dream of being a business guy with a good stock portfolio or whatever.
I dreamt of being the Spider-Man.

I dreamed of having:
* a family who I could provide for
* a nice house
* a nice car
Reality:
* no family, nor income that could provide for one
* renting an OK but not great house
* a nice car, which I can barely afford

trying to find the instructions for high attitude baking
I want a job in datum processing. I don't have enough patience for data.
Commercial 6502-based microcomputers were provided with proprietary operating systems. Apex was a platform-independent 6502 operating system, though it was mostly used on the Apple II. Apex also was ported to a few non-6502 platforms. Apex was originally proprietary, but later became open-source. Are there other platform-independent open-source operating systems for the 6502?

The Apex operating system for the Apple II, Sage/Stride, Macintosh, and Amiga, has a Y2104 problem. The Apex date format has a 7-bit year, and its epoch started with 1976.
AFAIK, there are no plans to deal with it.

Wanted:
NON-OCRed scan of Videx Keyboard Enhancer II (for Apple II, II+) manual
In all of the scans of this manual which I can find online, OCR has been used, and has f***ed up the listings, especially the firmware listing in appendix Y.

I read a lot of Heinlein when I was young, and what I learned was that to get ahead in the universe (or just on Earth), you need to have superhuman abilities, superhuman skills, superhuman longevity, or superhuman wealth.
It took a while longer for me to learn that I would never have any of those.
