Actually all of the "answers" to the error message work at any prompt.

 

If you type in OLD CS1, and press R when it says "Rewind Cassette Tape" - it will say it again.  You can press C and it will "check" instead of "read" even when that doesn't make sense to do.  I'm not sure if it actually loads anything if you tell it to check though.

Nah... I can almost buy an excellent Newtonian telescope for that price which is something I can and will use (https://www.telescope.com/Telescopes/Reflector-Telescopes/TableTop-Reflector-Telescopes/Orion-StarBlast-6i-IntelliScope-Reflector-Telescope/pc/1/c/11/sc/340/p/102026.uts?refineByCategoryId=340) . That computer is an expensive nostalgia trip with little practical value. That said, the word "practical" is a very loaded one given our current computing interests here ?

yeah, interesting. Of course my first thought was if I can watch next village´s ladies taking a bath or so... :)

So I found it on Amazon but there is missing a "T" in the display I think.... :grin:

As a matter of fact it was Hot Product of 2010 in Sky & Telescope magazine, so very nearly 13 years old! An excellent buy if I may add for beginner and intermediate amateur astronomers. The 6" aperture opens up quite a few deep sky objects, the encoders allow you to locate faint objects easily, and it's eminently portable. I have a 4.5" similar scope from Meade but without the encoders, and it's my most used telescope because I can just pick it up and go.

When I showed my Meade telescope to a colleague, he asked a similar thing. Really, every time I read such a sentence, it feels like a stab in the back.

 

There are so many beautiful things to see if you look up.

One LX50 (original), and one LX200 (used). See https://www.mizapf.de/astro/technik

(The astronomy section is still German-only.)

Ah classic scopes. Some of the best I might add.

My son lives in Hannover, and I promised him I'll learn German (eventually). Maybe this is the year to do it! 

My largest scope in an 8" GoTo dobsonian (Orion XTg-8) but sadly the drives are starting to go after 12 years of use. Otherwise I favor small very portable scopes which I can quickly set up in the backyard on good nights (Meade ETX-70 and 80, Meade Mini Lightbridge 114 as well my trusty Celestron 15x70 binoculars). 

I like your travel pictures by the way.

I think you mean this: https://ebay.com/itm/133970225808

 

I shit you not... if this sells for that amount I am going to put my fist through a wall.  I sold a complete kit for around $180 because it would not sell for almost a month at $250.
