I remember those Canonical cd’s, they’d let you request dozens at a time and shipped for free.
Funny story, they shipped them from a place in Switzerland at the time that used to be the address of Sandoz corp where they made LSD. I got a box in the mail and googled the shipping address wondering what this box is and did a huge WTF lol
I’ve been downloading so many books and magazines from Anna’s Archive lately for a “TV Typewriter” electronics project I’m working on to go with my Ben Eater cpu breadboard project that I had to buy the first regular hard drive I’ve bought in years. I’ve got all the Radio-Electronics and Byte mags from the 70’s and almost all the books advertised in them. All PDF because the ratty scanned books and the huge filesizes somehow feel more “authentic” than the sterile OCR’ed or ebook formats.
