I had an HP41C with a card reader back in the '80s I just came across my quick reference card for the reader, It had turned to flakes! It had lost all its ability to stay together and was now tiny chips of paper.

How strange is that?

I have a 'spare' Dell Latitude 7390 (Core i5 9gb ) on this machine. My production machine runs Debian with KDE.

What might be an interesting distro for me to try out on my spare machine?

I have the following devices:

• Apple IIC+, whose internal drive is working.
• BMOW floppy EMU.
• external 3.5" drive that just says Apple 3.5" drive.
• 2 drive 5.25 external drive.

What is the best configuration to set these up in to maximize storage space and secondarily to provide the most media capability?

Thanks!

Debian 12 (Bookworm) My Wi-Fi has just started randomly dropping the connection and re-connecting. It seems to connect and pass data normally until it decides to drop again.

I thought I solved this part by disconnecting and re-connecting myself but no it just deactivated and activated just now again.

I also have a wired connection.

Is there any issue with having both a wired connection and a wireless one at the same time?

Does it do any good? That is does the network traffic balance over the two connections give a little more bandwidth?

Update 1: For now until I can reboot I have disabled the wi-fi connection.

Update 2: The Wife works at home on wi-fi and says her connection has been bad this afternoon too. I rebooted and I still have the problem.

[Solved] Use date format for the dates and use the xy scatter plot

I have the dates and weights for the times I was weighed at my doctor's office. I would like to plot those so that the actual slopes are visualized.

I tried just putting the numbers in two columns and plotting them with a line plot but the days between the dates are irregular, sometimes 3 or more months elapse, sometimes only a week or two, but the dates on the graph are evenly spaced.

Is there a setting that will space the dates out to account for the number of days between dates, so I can see how well my diet is working?

Hi Everyone.

I am a user of an Apple IIC+! yay! I use mine mostly for Applesoft Basic programming.

Is this a place for those of us who rock Jurassic Apples?

Hi experienced people!

I am working on an interpreter of sorts. I would like its scripts to be invokable from the command line - so It would honor the "#!" as a first line, basically by making any line starting with a "#" a comment.

The issue is that I want to be able to read the source code more than once. The first pass will deduce the number of lines, the number of variables, the number of line labels, The beginning of the second pass will allocate arrays (malloc) to hold the program and its data, then re-read the source to store it internally and fill symbol tables and mark variables. once the source is read the 2nd time the program will begin to execute.

If an interpreted program is mentioned on the command line it would only get one pass at the source, right? That source would come in on standard input, and once read is no longer available.

Is there a way for my interpreter to get the file name instead of the body of the file?

While writing the question I came up with an idea, but I hope there is a better one. I could as a first pass store each line of the program in a known temporary file, then for the second pass I could read that file. I don't like this but if there is no better way...

Farmer for one, but I am not sure of the rest.
