   I should probably start thinking of getting rid of my CX5M. It was a cool computer to play with for a while, but gaming wise an MSX1 is very limited, and the synth aspect doesn't appeal to me like it did when I got it (I had a Yamaha DX7 I could program with the CX5M when I got it; no longer).
   
   I'm torn though between selling and maybe donating to a Youtuber who'd showcase it. I'm sure 8-Bit Guy would want to show off the thing; it's right at the intersection of his synth and 8-bit computer interests.

      I also need to be looking for a new home for my Osborne 1, I accomplished the "target" I had set for myself for it. I don't know if I'll get a good offer for it without shipping though, and this thing is unshippable.
      
      I think the only retro computers I'd want to keep are the C64 and the Vic-20. I got the C64 accessorized enough that it's pretty usable and fun computer to use, and I'd like as a project to set up permanently a rpi with a BBS that I can use as a gateway to the Internet for it. I already had that partly set up a while back but it had some bugs.

         It turns out that 9600 baud is a bit slow for full screen ncurses/TUI software, and it messed up refreshing the screen in lynx and weechat. Maybe it was my C64 terminal emulator software, I was using Striketerm 2014. CCGMS has been getting more development, maybe that works better now.
