Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

hey Guys

I thought micros ruled the smaller devices end of the spectrum but the PC is catching up!

This is just a newsy article from elsewhere in the world of processors. The stand out feature is a micro ITX board from VIA that is almost the size of a business card. And it's dual core.

I know smart phones are smaller but they cost heaps more.

I could fit this in my Maximite case! But I won't.

Chuck out the Altair Micro 8800 at Briel Computers. Runs Basic but an upgrade will run CP/M.
