On reddit: [WayBack] Wedge Week(Almost) Every Wedge Computer I’ve Got (i.redd.it)
Via: [WayBack] My entry for #WedgeWeek on #RetroBattlestations. (Almost) every wedge computer I’ve got. No exact duplicates but a few are from the same series. Glad … – Chris Osborn – Google+ where I commended “Nice collection! I’ve used at least 10 or 12 of them in one way or the other (: Need to take a closer look when not on the road.”
So behind a normal machine instead of a smartphone, I think this is the list going from the top left in a counter clockwise and spiral order to the center:
- I marked the ones I ever used (either at school, friends or university) with a star, and added some links later; mostly from Wikipedia/Wikimedia.
** I’m still not sure why, as there was a Dutch user group (see trs80.nl), but somehow no people in my “circles” me had one.
Original image is a [WayBack] highres 3211*1942 one and easier to see the model numbers (;

New home [WayBack] MMX – speed up your Delphi development
Old home [WayBack] ModelMaker Tools
Thanks a lot to Gerrit Beuze for al the efforts and insights while he created and maintained MMX for such a long time
Thanks a lot to Uwe Raabe for taking over the maintenance and providing the binaries for free.
I have posted links to some archived site pages below, just in case anybody needs them (when QC went off-line after a while the Google Search failed to show search results for this; hopefully this will keep some of the information retrievable).
As a follow up to:

Archived links (in semi-random order) hopefully they survive the shutdown of the links:

From a while back: [WayBack] Open Apple #66 (December 2016) : Glenda “The Atom” Adams | Open Apple
This month on Open Apple, we sit down with Glenda Adams, better known on the Apple II as The Atom. She was a cracker of some note back in the 1980s, and she shares great stories with us…
It reminded me of the days I started to learn programming. Good memories. @glenda_atom was way ahead of me (:
