Balena Etcher doesn't work on M1 macs, here's the solution
The handy, free USB stick 'burning' tool called Balena Etcher no longer works for M1/M2 Apple Silicon macs, so here's a solution that's guaranteed to work for any Apple mac! No previous knowledge of the command line is required.

THE S
the-sharp-pc-7000-'portable'-pc-from
In 1985, ‘luggables’ were not a new thing. We had seen them since at least 1981, with the CP/M-based Osborne One. The Compaq Portable was the first IBM PC-style luggable, released in March 1983. The thing, however, about luggables, is that they were essentially a whole PC in a box the size and weight of a Singer sewing machine.
The Sharp PC-7000 was different because the form factor and weight were significantly less. It had an LCD screen, which, for the time was remarkable. LCD was a very new technology at the time. As you will see, the monochrome display was none too good when it came to readability, especially in sunlit conditions.
It was at least two or three years, however, before anything came out that would challenge Sharp’s form factor and weight. Certain early portable Apple Computer portables spring to mind in this regard.
Other than the screen, the specifications were reasonable for the time too. At the heart, it sported an 8086-based CPU at 8MHz, making it zippier than the 8088 IBM PC at 4.77MHz. As it was an 8086, it also had a true 16-bit data bus which was quite the boon. It was let down a little by its low RAM specification, which could be upgraded, but the base model only had 320K. However, in 1985, this should have been sufficient to run Lotus 1-2-3 and most of your other DOS-based business applications. You could purchase an add-on modem, and I believe there was an alternate model that shipped with 1 floppy drive and a half-height hard drive. In-built in every model was an RS-232 serial port capable of up to 9600bps (so I assume 8240 UART) and a Parallel port. My machine comes with an external display connection, which apparently, was an extra feature.
This video shows the tear-down of this machine, which for much of its life, had been a thing that was lugged around a car mechanic’s workshop or office, as a printout I found inside the machine would suggest.
I hit a few snags along the way, which I managed to repair. Check it out!

In this movie, you'll get to know a little bit about the computer that started the personal computer revolution as we know it today: The IBM PC. There's a teardown of the hardware, a little history on the machine itself, and then I go crazy on making it do things it was never intended to do, like go on the Internet!

BACK
back-to-the-bbs-the-return-to-being
Bulletin Board Systems (BBS's) were what people went online with before the web. This multi-part documentary shows you what BBS's do, why they are still relevant and fun to use today.
The documentary interviews some users and system operators, both young and old. Crazy as it may sound, BBS's are actually still around today and can be accessed via the net. BBS's offer information and provide mail systems that are away from the prying eyes of Facebook and Google. They're a very sociable place to be, with messaging & chat. They have art unlike any you've ever seen and some really cool games and mods.
Think of the best bits of E-mail, usenet, Reddit, Facebook Groups, filesharing and a few more besides. Package it all in one area, with a really cool retro aesthetic and you have a BBS. People run BBS's today because they are passionate about engaging in a community of people with similar ideals, something they won't get anywhere else.
