Yup! I sold a lot of Cyrix 6x86 systems back in the day, and earlier models before that. They were great value compared to Intel chips! And the Cyrix x87 math coprocessors beat the pants off Intel at the time, for less money.

VIA still makes x86 processors descended from Cyrix, because they bought the IP from National Semi. Mostly for the Chinese market.

Years ago, I found a VHS tape from my childhood. It was the early '80s, I was a little kid, and my uncle was filming with one of the first VHS cameras. I was at the beach, walking on the sand. I walked carefully, avoiding sharp shells or any pointed stones that might hurt me. I still do that today. My uncle would often ask, "Are you walking on eggshells?" to highlight my cautious, delicate steps. Sadly, my uncle has been gone for thirteen years now. But those words, recorded on tape, often play in my mind. When I need to move carefully—whether physically or metaphorically—I hear his voice and see that little blond boy (yes, incredible, right?) moving cautiously on the sand.

Ooh, just dug this out. Raw comic magazine compilation selected from the first 3 issues (Read Yourself Raw, 1987). I think a mate bought it for me in my late teens as a birthday pressie (£9.99 from Forbidden Planet when it was on Dawson St. Dublin). Or I bought it in the company of a mate on a city centre comic spree. Either way, I’m glad it’s rediscovered. #MemoryLane #RawMagazine #ArtSpiegelman #GaryPanter #1980s #Comics #ComicBookArt

I seem to have saved a few bits and bobs from the time of the currency change-over to the Euro. A few ads, newspaper clippings, and that Irish £ to € calculator which I’m pretty sure I used only about twice. My memory is that I got Euros out of an ATM after a New Year’s party at the Project Arts Centre … and that was it. Currency transition done.
