NASA moves a step closer to supersonic passenger flights
  • But we already had the Concorde.... It stopped flying due to fuel costs and limited flight paths only allowed over oceans, no super sonic flying over land. Hopefully NASA has fixed these issues...

  • Laptop
  • Just my suggestion/guide, note I am only saying Intel because where I am there's a large amount of ex government/school/company disposal laptops that are Intel. Look for an laptop with at least 4 gb ram. The more ram the better, like 8gb. You definitely won't need alot of ram for internet and email but more allows it to be stable. For CPU Intel then a i5 would be okay. An i7 that's a few years old would be great. If newer an i3 is fine but I personally think older i3s are a bit slow. For hard drive you need only a small hard drive like 200 gb, you can use external usbs later. If possible get a solid state drive ssd any size for the speed

  • Is there a stable version of Windows 98 to play retro games on VM?
  • I agreed it is a bit of overhead to install and update the OS in the VM, but once setup its easy to snapshot or copy the VM. So if I install a game that doesn't work out I just roll back. I have tried Wine over the years and although it's getting better I am a dos and windows native. Linux on the side with the manual or Google open. 🤪

  • Is there a stable version of Windows 98 to play retro games on VM?
  • I actually use virtual box as my work pc. So my work and personal is separated.
    I can easily backup/snapshot my work machine or move my work VM to another physical machine. Same using a VM to run any archived games you might find online that may have hidden malware that kills your main machine. Connecting to work VPN within a VM and free to listen to music streams or Netflix in my main desktop without receiving any angry IT emails from work. Because my main laptop(win8) is now overdue for replacement I am thinking to install Linux and VirtualBox and just run it as a VM server.

  • Yeah VirtualBox is my goto solution for this. I have Win95, WinXP, Win2000, Win8.1, Win10, Linux Ubuntu, Android86x, OSX Leopard

    I basically used the original disks/licenses I had from older machines or grabbed isos following online tutorials using developer testing licenses
