One more Commodore 116 keyboard screw conversion - check.

It looks good, but it isn't perfect. 2 or 3 screws can't be tightened fully. Maybe the piece moved slightly. The tolerances are very tight, the screw is M1.7 in size, and the drill-bit is 1.3mm... If it wobbles by a fraction of a mm, it can already cause this problem.

They're still holding though, and with all screws in, it feels solid. It will be good enough, I think. cc: @iszell

Oh no, they're multiplying!

One of these Commodore 116 doesn't belong to me, and overall it's in a much better nick than mine. Works perfectly, and looks very unmolested - but of course someone had a go at the keyboard already, and some of the plastic pins holding it together are already broken. No surprises there.

I will do the screw-conversion on it, now that I can, and have the tools for it, and then we'll see what else.

Two Commodore 116s on the desk. One of them is the one I repaired earlier, the second one is the new arrival.
The new Commodore 116 opened up. It's in a really good nick overall.

The C64 BBS FriaBad offers the daily price per kilo of shrimp when you log out. It's worth calling that board just for that service!

This is a fine example of AI programming on an MSX computer using Logo.

The video is astonishing and hypnotic, I recommend you watch it until the end.

Almost a year ago and days from my birthday I got my #Mega65 delivered to the door. Within minutes I open up the package and started playing with my new toy.

And of course I forgot to pause and appreciate the time someone spent creating the cover art. So today I'm doing just that. The mega comes in a really nice box and it really creates the feeling of a true birthday present!
