...and a very cute kitty!

Most Classic II suffer from leaking capacitors which should be replaced and it's a good idea to replace the onboard battery, which is prone to leaking and destroying the board:

There are two different versions of the mainboard which require different numbers and types of capacitors:

I’m curious about the HTTP/0.9 stuff. Last time I checked (four or five years ago, by making a trivial HTTP/0.9 server, as the first step of a “writing HTTP servers” tutorial series that never materialised), Firefox either wouldn’t render the output at all, or would render it as though it had been a text/plain response (can’t remember which it was). In other words, it’s not a real web page. I would expect precisely zero occurrences among the top million pages, not the thirty that 0.003% indicates. I think it’s far more likely (p≅0.9999) that these indicate some sort of error.

(For those unfamiliar with it, HTTP/0.9 is the label for a protocol where the client opens a TCP connection to the server and sends “GET /”, and the server responds with the body, verbatim, and closes the connection. No status codes, no headers, nothing.)


I've grown to love OpenBSD recently (and BSDs in general). I started life using Windows all the time, switched to Linux when I went to university, had a fling with Macs for a few years, then almost exclusive with Linux again for years. In the last several years I discovered the BSDSs, and OpenBSD is now my daily driver. It is so beautifully simple. Configuring a secure server is easy. The config files are consistent. It just works.

I highly recommend installing and playing around with it. Like Lisp, even if you don't go permanent with it, the encounter will change how you think and what you expect in terms of elegance from every other system you use.
