I made this out of Kingwood and got a really nice grain match across the cap and the body!

@freemo I know you like fountain pens (or at least calligraphy), what do you think?

@smy It is working relatively well; I'm having a problem with the monitor, don't know how to describe it. But 100% sure is the monitor, not the video card:

@AndresPlazaR What a thing of absolute beauty! I preferred the 'orange' to the green VDUs.
A long time since I've seen that boot screen.
Got a spare old analogue monitor to test with? Anything with the VGA connector? Is it older than that? Thanks for sharing!

@AndresPlazaR A hard drive!! I remember the first family Amstrad had a 20MB hard-card as an add-on.
I think you might be earlier than DOS3 thinking about it if you're an 8088?
An interesting piece of history and I hope it lasts many more years.

@freemo I don't like to brag, but I did take some advanced hip hop dance classes back in the day...

I didn't really know what to expect with Mastodon, but less than 24 hours in, I'm definitely a fan. And, to be honest, I don't think I'll miss the sound of crickets that so often followed a Tweet.

@AndresPlazaR Lovely bit of kit.
5.25" floppy? DOS 3.1?
Waves of nostalgia for days long gone.
