Re: "Machdyne Timeless Computers"
Haha yeah, I don't actually see myself using one of their machines to survive the apocalypse. I just like the weird little retro niche it fills. Still haven't bought one of the FPGAs, but I do have their little FRAM drive.

Machdyne Timeless Computers — Anyone hear of Machdyne? They make tiny FPGA "timeless computers". There's a custom Linux build called Kakao. They also make the Kaltstahl - a little USB device that store 256KB on ferroelectric RAM, with an estimated retention of 95 years @ +55C, and over 200 years @ +35C. They also have a real telnet BBS at bbs.machdyne.com I've told them about Gemini. I think this place and their community would blend well. Thought I'd see if I could raise some interest...
