It runs!
Intel EEPROMs still work after over 40 years.
Increase this by 100 decibels and I have an idea what a dinosaur sounds like.
The booklet is indeed very good. Have a look:

Oh hey, look—Elon is destroying the entire field of Astronomy.
I kept an index, sometimes (not always) being a good researcher.
Elaborate headstones for Thomas Scaife and Joseph Rutherford, killed following the explosion of the boiler of the train they were driving, in Bromsgrove on 10 November 1840. Black faced with white text, poems on both, and images of a railway engine at the top of both.

Just over a year ago, we visited #Bromsgrove to mark the anniversary of the 1840 boiler explosion which killed Joseph Rutherford & Thomas Scaife.
We were supporting #RailwayHistory research, into Bromsgrove railway staff, carried out locally:

Big difference if scanned from paper, which I suspect is not often. I now have to trawl through again to get the better quality images.
Indeed fascinating. I have a local paper on pdf. Quality is v poor (scanned microfilm) but I've just discovered Findmypast have the paper's war years digitised in very good definition from paper edition, which seems better than BNA.
The one I used had a large tracker ball, which was actually a snooker ball! so easy to use, but rather a large package. Ironically I got RSI from a conventional mouse used with a CAD system. Pain mostly in 2 fingers and elbow. Took over 2 years to recocover.
When the RBL re-run the Battlefields Pilgrimage a few years ago, I checked the local newspaper archive, there were some lengthy reports from the local contingent from the 1928 trip.
Can't help with the diet, but let me know if you find anything. Years ago I had RSI in right hand, so changed to a Tracker ball, which I could roll with thumb and also reversed the L & R buttons. Not sure they are still available, it was from a Atari computer, I converted to PC. It helped a lot.
And if you look again, it's not random.

Block them all. Keep the sky blue.
We have an adult who chews the bird feeder and a younger one today, who can't reach it. Thieving b******s. I could have shot 8 in the woods last week if I had a gun. When they hop along my fence to my garage, I'm sure I can hear the Mission Impossible theme.

So he shits in the swimming pool, then finds another clean pool to shit in.
You should see his cars.
It's looking grim (with a small g).

Maybe no politics? We'd never live long enought to absorb all the available interesting stuff.
I'm an eXodus member. Still a number of friends missing in action and I have more zero post followers than I know what to do with.
When our daughter was 4 weeks old with a respiratory infection we were taught to bash her on the back with cupped hands by a hospital physiotherapists known as Brenda the baby basher.
We are now in a position where we have no idea which moron will destroy us first.
Heads up! Gliders incoming... 24 March 2025 is the 80th anniversary of Operation Varsity. The major Allied Airborne Operation was mounted to secure a bridgehead over the Rhine. I will be speaking about varsity at 3 locations in March 25. @armyflying @BofBBunker @EssexRecordOffice
