Plus, those “You Will” commercials from the 90’s!

Will you be depressed that a dystopian future is coming? You will. And the company that will bring it to you? AT&T. ;-) (those commercials looked very cyber-punk)

Orpheus II: The Best Retro PC Sound Card in 2023? Perhaps! in c/retrocomputing

[–] anthonyg 2 points 2 years ago

I’d love to build a 486-DX 66Mhz DOS gaming rig, but prices for retro equipment are through the roof right now.

This soundcard is pretty awesome, though.

Baofeng UV-5R HTs Are Now Sub-$20 USD on Amazon in c/sdfarc

One could purchase five of these for the cheapest Yaesu on the market right now.

Having said that, I'm not giving up my Yaesu radios anytime soon. :D

Incredible that aNONbbs ran on a laptop! Do we have an emulation/server set up with the old BBS software? It might be neat to use it...although who knows how much activity it would get these days.

Baofeng UV-5R HTs Are Now Sub-$20 USD on Amazon (www.amazon.com)

They're cheap, poor-fidelity, horrible propagation radios with handfuls of bugs (the one I bought years ago has a lot of trouble with frequency bleed).

But they're also now less than $20 USD on Amazon.

This seems like a good community to have here since we have a large amount of interest in ham radio among SDF members. Let's discuss radio!
