Emma Davidson<p>If anyone’s wondering if the flu shot is worth it this season, my anecdotal evidence / study of n=1 says that it is.</p><p>Flu cases are still rising, and it’s not too late to get a vaccination if you missed out in the pre-season (yes, avoiding contagious illnesses is a contact sport).

derSammler<p>Wie angekündigt werde ich vieles aus der DEC-Sammlung veräußern, da meine Zeit für Restaurierungen und auch mein Platz zum Lagern begrenzt ist.</p><p>Den Anfang macht:</p><p>1x <strong>digital VT525 Color Terminal</strong></p><p>Eher schlechter Zustand. Deckel braucht Retro-Brighting, der Power-Knopf vorne fehlt (ist nur eine verlängerte Stahlstange, Schalter innen ok und aktuell auf "immer an") - lässt sich vermutlich per 3D-Druck nachdrucken. Teile sind alle dabei.</p><p>Ferner meldet das Terminal beim Start "NVR Error", was aber keinen Einfluss auf die Funktion zu haben scheint.</p><p>Statt der 450€, die Leute bei eBay dafür haben wollen (LOL), sage ich mal: 40 € und weg damit. Wer's haben will, melden.
