Zilog Z80

Just that name conjures up sci-fi thoughts from back in the 1970s/1980s! "Zilog" and "Z80" - very futuristic.  Well, as usual, I'm late to the game, but what with all this "new" technology that pretty much sucks, is over-complicated and is mostly bloat-ware... I've returned back to simpler times that are actually very much more capable and flexible enough to do a lot of what is needed. I'll just leave this here : I wonder what is on my "plans for 2023 whiteboard"?.. . .

A Futurama for 2029 anyone?

As I said before, sometimes, in order to get a sense of direction forward we have to look back.  Not, "go" back, but go back to a time and place and observe a perspective of opportunity, hope, vision & direction and wonder where it all wandered off to.  Then sit back & ponder, there were some good concepts & idea's that got passed over or totally missed that could be introduced into the modern world to help make things a little better. Anyway, enough rambling, and yes, there are some "car" related items in here, but bare with it, enjoy the next hour or so....for a little look at the future from a 1939 perspective: So, it is quite well known (in the work environment) that I don't get along with the "younger" generation (currently in their 20-30s) and that I'm pigeon holed as "the grumpy old man" and I've become that stereotype... I guess my frustration with that age-range of people is that they have become so....."...

Turn your magic on....
