broswell··on A 386 PC for Your RP2350
Which of the 4 boards on do you recommend as easiest? I would love to demo at the Computer Museum @ System Source https://museum.sysrc.com

It looks like I would have to build my own frank board. Any off the shelf boards?

broswell··on Squeak 6.1
I just downloaded on Windows 11. My antivirus (Symantec Endpoint Protection) did not like it and erased the executable. I reinstalled and got it working.

Question? Does this work with Etoys? If so, how? I tried following various directions online without success. Thanks!

broswell··on Laboratory Instrument Computer LINC: “The Genesis of a Technological Revolution”
We are fortunate to have a LINC, and a LINC-8 at the System Source Computer Museum. ( https://museum.syssrc.com ) The museum is in Hunt Valley, MD. The LINC was last operational at Digibarn.com in 2009. We hope to have it working again early in 2022. We are also luck to have a complete set of drawings!

broswell··on Why I Wrote PGP (1999)
In the 90's I found PGP fairly easy to use (with old versions of Novell Groupwise)

Today I find it fairly difficult to implement with modern email systems and devices. Apparently I am not alone.

I have found S/MIME to be barely implementable. What can we do together to make it easier to use email encryption?

broswell··on Why I Wrote PGP (1999)
PGP Usabilty:

In the old days (Groupwise?) I found PGP easy to implement and use. Today I find it nearly impossible. Apparently I am not alone.

http://www.gaudior.net/alma/johnny.pdf

I have found S/MIME a bit easier to implement, but still much harder.

Is it a conspiracy to keep people from using crypto?
