It's a pity I lost my pile of brown cardboard 78rpm "Hit of the Week" records from the 1930s.

Hofstadter's Strange Loop

The loop is formed by a flow of neurotransmitters from the basic level of the human neural network to the conscious level where they are interpreted as the self and this message is transmitted to the low level again where the loop is closed causing a repetition of the same message that seem to say "this is me", causing the stubborn illusion we can't resist.

In 2002 I said goodbye to my TRS 80 with modified 8" FDDs and Epson MX80 printer, floppies and documents. Heavy stuff, indeed.

Kestrel that grabbed a pigeon at my neighbour's garden, eating it. After an hour it flew away with pigeon and all. Amazing for such a small bird.

My TRS-80 printer around 1979. I used a pair of modified 8" floppy disk drives that emulated standard 5.25" fdd's.
