Bob, I believe. Clippy is proof that Microsoft learned nothing from Bob.

"Hey - your jeans are ripped at the knees!" Said nobody in quite a while.

Put some feelers out on the Acorn newsgroups. You might even get some offers. These guys tend to be the real enthusiasts and by the look of it, the acorn.hardware group is still quite active. https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/comp.sys.acorn.hardware

Well played. My old Merlin from 1979 still works! It had nine quite playable and enjoyable games - quite a piece of engineering with very primitive equipment.

Here's a good one. I've had this for a while. It still works.

Is it a Mac classic?

Filename = 800.JPG? Got to be an Atari 800.

That looks really interesting. What service are you running it on? What sort of costs are involved? (I hate surprise bills) I found this recent article about Streisand and it suggests out-of-plan data costs are $0.01 per GB which is peanuts.

And if you're a developer, this pretty much sums it up:

Dammit, I'll try and fix it now..... Think it's OK now. Try again... [ATTACH=CONFIG]41235[/ATTACH]

This should be easy, though it might throw a few whippersnappers.

A 1980s TV modulator, twin 3.5mm cassette ports, large heatsink on the blocking diode, looks like a Z80 processor, Sinclair-style transistor bodge over the ULA.... I'm going to guess ZX81? Edit: I just checked and it is indeed a ZX81.

I use vi every day. It's not exactly fun, but once you get used to it it's a really fast and efficient editor. ed, on the other hand....

I've just finished season two of Narcos. Absolutely superb. I thoroughly enjoyed this drama. The tempo was pretty much perfect and the series was full of suspense. The ending looks like they've left open the possibility of a third series. Fingers crossed. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2707408/

Take five and breathe some fresh Eire.

Unlike the Pi and Arduino, this uses a vintage Z80. You can now DJNZ until your B runs out! https://github.com/dekuNukem/fap80

If you want an easy life, go for a well-known brand with some sort of service and support behind them. I bought a no-name wifi cam off ebay for about £20 which was a devil to configure. The actual camera works very well, but there's zero support and you're totally on your own. The P2P function failed dismally, so I set the camera up to be an RTSP server, and I managed to get it to work with the Onvifer client. The emai motion alerts were problematic, neither Gmail or Yahoo accepted emails directly from the camera. I had to use an intermediate SMTP relay hop to relay the alerts to my Gmail. SMTP2GO: Reliable & Scalable Email Delivery Service which is actually very good, and you get 1000 email relays free every month. I like a challenge. In short, if you want an easy life, don't buy a no-name camera. Do check this out - Angelcam allows you to monitor your camera(s) through their website. They have a cloud recording feature which might be useful. https://www.angelcam.com/

Look who's coming to series three of Better Call Saul... http://youtu.be/O8vfckXAPJ8

Another vote of Pembrokeshire. Tenby is a bit too touristy for my taste, but still manages to charm. Solva, St Davids and that neck of the woods are well worth a visit. The coastal path walk is a must. There's a good bus service so you can walk bits of the path and bus back to your base.

This is terrible news.

Is this any good? It's a pre-rolled VirtualBox VM containing: Oracle Linux 5.7 Oracle Enterprise Manager 12.1.0.4 (for Linux x86-64) Oracle Database 11g (for Linux x86-64) MySQL Database 5.6.21 (for Linux x86-64) Hands-On-Labs materials MySQL and Oracle Enterprise Manager Developer VM I haven't tried it, but it might be possible to run this VM on a bridged network and allow remote access to your students instead them running their own VM if that makes things easier.

This might be worth investigating. https://www.tutorialspoint.com/mysql_terminal_online.php Update: I had a quick bash at this and I think this might be all you need. It's on-line and it allows you to save your work. I'm really impressed with this.

Potential curve ball: Is the requirement for MySQL set in stone? A far easier SQL system to use in almost any environment would be SQLite. https://www.sqlite.org/ It's serverless, which means that you just take away the file as a self-contained database for unparalleled portability. By the way, it's the most commonly used SQL system in the world. It's in everything from smart-watches to supercomputers. I'm a big fan. Tutorial: SQLite tutorial If MySQL is a definite requirement, then I would plump for a pre-rolled applicance. e.g. https://www.turnkeylinux.org/mysql You can get a VirtualBox image, or if you're feeling creative, a Docker image.

Started season 2 of Narcos on Netflix. Drama, suspense, action, political intrigue, it's got the lot. Me gusta mucho.
