Holy frijoles! There are now 20 (twenty!) Lifetime Subscriber Walls, filled with the names of roughly one bazillion Lunduke Journal supporters.

Just amazing.

Two super quick updates:

1. The “Desqview/X”, “NeXTSetp”, & “TRS-80 Model 100” Walls are now full! (Check them out on Lunduke.com and at the end of new shows.)

2. There are 3 new Walls available to put your John Hancock on… and, just for kicks, these ones aren’t from Classic Operating Systems… they’re Classic Games:

   1. Oregon Trail

   2. Commander Keen 4

   3. Leisure Suit Larry

 

I don’t expect space on these Walls to last long. First come first served.

• If you already have a Lifetime Subscription to The Lunduke Journal, simply get ahold of me and let me know which Wall you want your name to appear on.

• If you don’t have a Lifetime Sub yet… what in the heckatarnations are you waiting for? The Lifetime Discount only lasts through the end of July (which is roughly one week away).

A huge thank you to all of The Lunduke Journal subscribers. Your support is deeply appreciated. You make this possible.

Buckle up, Buttercup. Because The Lunduke Journal is about to blow your mind.

1. The “BeOS” Wall Lifetime Subscriber Wall is now full (see all of them on Lunduke.com)!

2. We’ve added a new “TRS-80 Model 100” Wall (because we can)! That’s the 19th Lifetime Subscriber Wall! 19!

3. The discounted Lifetime Lunduke Journal Subscriptions are still available through to the end of this month (July).

Which means there are, as of this exact moment, 4 Walls with space available (see Lunduke.com for the full list of Walls). But these fill up wicked fast.

1. Emacs (only a few spots left)

2. Desqview/X (a little less than 2/3rd’s full)

3. NeXTStep (still plenty of space)

4. TRS-80 Model 100 (just launched)

 

Nice, right?

Worth noting: The “TRS-80 Model 100” has very limited screen resolution (240 x 64), which means only a small number of names can fit on that wall. If you want on it, I’d let me know right away.

Grab a discounted Lifetime Subscription (if you don’t already have one), then let me know (email “bryan at lunduke.com”) which Wall you’d like to see your name on.

Huge high five to everyone who has already added their name to a Wall. At the current rate, we’ll have over 20 retro computer themed walls, filled with all of your names, by the end of the month.

And, doggone it, that’s amazing.

Lunduke’s Thoughts of The Week

Yesterday was the 4th of July.

As such, time that I normally would have spent writing up some thoughts on the Tech News of the Week (tm) was, instead, spent eating hamburgers, watching fireworks, and generally goofing off with my kids.

So allow me to briefly summarize my thoughts using as little effort as possible:

Rust is weird, Sony sucks, and America is awesome.

… Yup. That just about covers it.

I hope all of my fellow Americans had a truly splendid Independence Day.
