    Hey, as while in the museum and messages yes, for sure :-).
    On the Website it is much more effort to keep the website in both English and German and as i am the only person doing it, i keep it in German only.

    I thought about also adding Czech as we are living right next to the boarder.

    But if anyone would like to take a tour it would be amazing.

    I looked at Your Museum webpages again today.

    On the /kontakt page is a map.
    I have two World Atlas books and didn't see Nieder-Osterrich in the index of either book.
    I also looked to see if I could see the City on the Germany map page(s) but not able to figure out what area in Germany Your Museum is located.

    As an aside, I shop at Aldi Grocery Store here in Indiana.

    I hadn't heard of Muffin Term... Looks pretty decent from the website...
    When on macOS I've literally been using the built in Terminal app, with a customised profile installed for ANSI BBS use...

    I'll download it later and play - still kinda wish there was a macOS native
    app for NetRunner that used the same address book file... then I would sync that between my Windows PCs and Macs!

    Hi Mary

    On the odd occasion I pull out one of my Compaq Portable machines. I have both the 286 and 386 - both the gas plasma display, not the CRT version.

    I do have some other retro systems that are in need of repair / rebuild / etc...

    All too much tasking not enough timing...

    can you tell me your settings for the terminal app?

    btw MuffinTerm is awesome for MacOS/iOS!

    I downloaded some from the internet 'somewhere' - I have a copy stashed away here: https://cdn.drf-solutions.net/software/Software%20For%20Multi-OS/BBS/MysticBBS/ NetRunner%20Client/Mac/macOS%20Terminal%20App%20Profile/ANSIBBS.terminal

    Import that into Terminal as a new profile and then open a new Terminal
    window with the new profile. Its not perfect, and does require some tweaking, but in its stock form, its not too bad. I think it requires a certain font - can't recall which.

    Good luck!

    can you tell me your settings for the terminal app?

    I got a font called Perfect DOS VGA 437 and set that in the Terminal profile under 'Texs'. Under 'Advanced' I set the terminal as 'ansi' and atthe bottom I changed 'Text encoding:' to 'Western (ASCII)'.

    I saw an ad for the "FIRST" anti-blue-light PC, and originally thought
    of the gas plasma Compaqs. Nice systems. I had a Compaq portable II for
    a while, had the green CRT though. Lots of fun, hated the squishy
    keyboard. :(
