Hi, I keep my Model 100 plugged-in, so the battery doesn't go down to zero. I played with it a little, but yes, the small display is annoying.
I do plan to write a little program or two for the computer to control either a stepper motor for music, or a servo motor for a mobile art project, similar to the one I did for my Altair 8800c computer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BDaBaBL1mws&ab_channel=WaltPerko ============================================================================ ================== C U L8r, °|° Walt Perko °|° "Kids ... teach them the good stuff, and they still learn the bad stuff on their own." http://www.R2Pv1.com/ RoboGuts Intelligent content for 3D printing making S.T.E.A.M. education better, easier and more affordable Experiments to learn how to use various Electronic Components, Structured Computer Programming, Phonemes for Speech &Song in any language, and Art.

I was wondering if people would be willing to share how they typically use their Model Ts. I've found that it's pretty difficult for me to find a comfortable position to use my Model 100 for any length of time. I'm always bending forward to get a better view when I sit at a table or desk, and when it's on my lap the lack of palmrest causes the keyboard to slide too close to my body making it hard to type. Do you typically only use them on desks? Do you use yours on your lap? Do you use a lap desk? Any tips for how you comfortably use a Model T for longer stretches (30+ minutes) would be appreciated. Thanks!
