RE: masto.hackers.town/@inversephaAnswer: This song is in a very early PC demo called, you'll never believe this, "Coldcut" by UltraForce. Amiga folks had lots of sampled music but the PC was still catching up. For PC users, this was a very early "cool" thing folks with soundcards would show friends.youtube.com/watch?v=fMOQuFm3QII#demoscene #retrocomputing #DOS #PC #sampling #music #1990s #programming

Happy #Holidays from the #museum! Our timeline is almost fully populated and we're building out exhibits as fast as we can. Check out the cool lighting from one of our volunteers!#Pittsburgh #PGH #museums #technology #retrocomputing #retrogaming

You are standing at a curved table looking directly at some white shelving behind the tables. An Atari 800 and second VIC-20 are connected to TVs on the table, and a boxed Atari 400 and VIC-20 are on the shelves. Also visible to the left and right are a Commodore PET, Apple II, TRS-80, TI-99, IBM PC, Commodore 64, Macintosh, and you can barely see an Atari ST and Amiga 1000 around the bend to the right. There are red and green uplights accenting the furniture and red and blue carpet mats in front of the tables. There are no ceiling tiles but a little fairy told me they're coming soon.

A view of a sidewalk in front of an old beige brick municipal building with a red roof, and "coming soon: bloop museum" on a signpost out front. The scenery includes a tree that has lost its leaves from fall near the sign, and a tall radio tower behind the building.

Even though we have a lot more to do, clean, paint, etc, I'm excited to say that we finally got the green light to enter and start moving in about two weeks ago. To boot, when we got the OK, we already had two truckloads basically ready to go. What size truckload? So glad you asked...

Yep, a 53 foot dry van. And that's 25 pallets in front of it. We filled it to the brim with computers, games, and tech to go in the museum. But here's where it gets real - we're going to be able to fill three of these, maybe four. We delivered the second one yesterday; here's a picture of Brendan, who is forklift-certified, getting pallets off of a truck. I don't know why I'm talking about myself in the third person, probably something to do with the serious look on my face here: [image of Brendan carefully driving a forklift]
