The only change I would make are these three links at the bottom of the user page which always seem like an afterthought -- just needs a little CSS to make them not look out of place:

The Jupiter Ace was a massive fumble. What a shame. I bought one from a charity shop for a quid in about 1988, but I couldn't figure out the Forth syntax :(

I work with people leaving prison and they end up with phones with only about 3GB of transfer a month. They burn it all up in 3 days and then they can't use Google Maps to get around, they can't apply for jobs, can't get their benefits or healthcare.
There are many important sites that have multi-hundred megabyte homepages and it's not as easy to uBlock things on mobile. A sad situation.

  Thank you! I certainly will. I have looked several times over the years. Perplexing.

Before 2040 arrives AI will be able to decompile the entire ROM binary into beautifully commented C code, assuming Apple don't do the nice thing.

These are unbelievable. The amount of time and effort that must have gone into these. A huge mix of different skills to put it together and it is so polished. Very impressive.

Does anyone know what the 32K + 3K means in the instructions? I thought the VIC-20 only had one expansion slot?

    That's not it :)
    I went down a VIC-20 rabbit hole. Apparently there are two areas where you can map in expansion RAM, one is 32KB and the other area is 3KB. And so some expansion packs are 35KB (both 32KB + 3KB in one cart) to upgrade the VIC-20 to the maximum possible.
