You Won't Believe What JB Does for His Wife: The Super-Husband Reveal That Left Everyone Speechless What's keeping you connected to an ex long after the relationship is over? That simple question sparks one of the most entertaining conversations of the morning as JB, Sandy, and Tricia explore the unexpected ways people stay tethered to former partners. From co-parenting pets to shared assets and lingering life connections, the discussion proves that breakups are not always as clean as they seem. The laughs keep coming when the crew dives into their most random recent search history. From mob movie rabbit holes and AI-powered coding to self-driving vehicles, sports rivalry stats, and some truly unexpected internet curiosities, you'll never guess what everyone was searching over the weekend. Then comes the moment that steals the show. Sandy proudly shares a thoughtful gesture he borrowed from JB's playbook, only to discover that JB has once again raised the bar for husbands everywhere. What starts as a sweet story quickly turns into one of the funniest and most jaw-dropping relationship moments the show has had in a while. The episode also takes a nostalgic trip through technology history as the team reflects on the debut of one of the first home computers, sharing memories of early tech, floppy disks, computer labs, and how far we've come since the early days of personal computing. Along the way, you'll hear memorable moments like JB earning the unofficial title of "Super Husband," Sandy's excitement over a surprisingly useful phone hack, and the group's hilarious reaction to the lengths some people go to for the ones they love. Quote of the Episode: "I thought I was doing good... then JB raised the bar again." If you love relatable stories, nostalgic memories, unexpected laughs, and the chemistry that makes mornings with JB, Sandy, and Tricia feel like hanging out with friends, this is an episode you won't want to miss. Enjoyed the show? Be sure to subscribe, leave a review, and share this episode with a friend who could use a laugh today.

ANTIC Interview 461 - James W. Burley, APX Data Base/Report System

James W. Burley, APX Data Base/Report System James W. Burley is the programmer of Data Base/Report System, which was sold by Atari Program Exchange beginning with the Summer 1982 APX catalog. It was catalog number 20134 with a price of $22.95. APX sold it for about a year, through the Summer 1983 catalog. APX awarded Data Base/Report System first prize for new software in the "Business & Professional Applications/Personal Finance & Record Keeping" category: for that, James was awarded an Atari Star plaque and $2000 prize. (He received the plaque, but says he never received the money.) The software may have also been sold by Main Street Publishing. Here's what the APX catalog had to say: Data Base/Report System by James W. Burley Recommended for experienced data base users/Written in BASIC and machine language If you've ever used a data base manager on a large computer system, you'll appreciate the many features of DATA BASE/REPORT SYSTEM. This general-purpose system for ATARI 800 Home Computers creates and maintains records having up to ten units of information ("fields"), with a maximum field length of 100 characters and a maximum record length of 255 characters. The total number of records you can store varies with record key size, a key being the unique identifier for each record) and available computer memory. Generally, you can store about 1300 records having a five-character key on a system with 40K of memory. You use the main program to create a new file; add, update, and remove records; sort the file; and print reports. Auxiliary programs reorganize the data files to free unused diskette space; redefine the file by adding fields, modifying field sizes, or changing field headings; delete old files; and print special reports. ... These and other features make DATA BASE/REPORT SYSTEM a really versatile data base management system for your ATARI 800 Home Computer. REVIEW COMMENTS: You need some data base knowledge to use the program; it's a bit complex, but all the features are worthwhile. The print formatting and file reorganization features are very useful. The sort and search routines, written in assembly language, work quickly. In 1983, Antic magazine featured the program as one of the "Ten Best from APX". In 2024, Wade at the Inverse ATASCII podcast did a deep dive into Data Base/Report System: check the show notes for the link to that review, which includes dozens of screenshots, sample print output, and information about the database's file format. Wade gave the software a rating of 5 out of 8. As of this recording, the Atari community doesn't yet have a scan of the APX manual for Data Base/Report System: if you have a copy, let me know, or scan it and upload it to Internet Archive. The Main Street Publishing version — both disk and manual — are also not preserved. This interview took place on May 22, 2026.

Dies ist Folge 2 von 2. Folge 1 erschien vor einer Woche. Worum geht's? Nachdem der TI-99/4 endlich fertig entwickelt ist, muss er sich nun auf dem hart umkämpften Heimcomputermarkt beweisen – gegen Tandy, Atari und vor allem gegen Commodore. Henner und Chris erzählen, wie Texas Instruments seinen Rechner vermarktet, warum die Verpackung bewusst auf das technische Kürzel verzichtet und stattdessen groß „Home Computer“ verspricht, und wie sich der Nachfolger 99/4A entwickelt: mit besserer Tastatur, neuem Grafikmodus, aufgebohrter Sprite-Engine, aber auch gnadenlosem Rotstift bei Lautsprecher und Kopfhöreranschluss. Es geht um die Werbekampagne mit Bill Cosby, der in unzähligen Spots stets denselben Satz wiederholt: „This is the one.“ Um ein teures Rückrufproblem wegen potenziell gefährlicher Netzteile. Und um die immer verzweifeltere Suche nach Software für ein System, dessen exotische Prozessorarchitektur Entwicklerinnen und Entwickler eher abschreckt als einlädt – im Gegensatz etwa zum gut dokumentierten 6502 in Ataris Rechnern. Trotzdem entsteht nach und nach ein überraschend vielfältiges und teils hochwertiges Spieleangebot, nicht zuletzt dank der kreativen Freiheit, die TI seinen eigenen Entwicklerinnen und Entwicklern lässt, und dank externer Partner wie Milton Bradley mit ihrem kuriosen MBX-Erweiterungssystem. Am Ende dreht sich alles um den ruinösen Preiskampf mit Commodore, der TI schließlich einen Quartalsverlust von 100 Millionen Dollar beschert und die Aktie einbrechen lässt. Noch auf der Sommer-CES 1983 kündigt TI mit dem winzigen TI-99/2 und einem neuen Topmodell einen Neuanfang an – doch beide Projekte werden nie veröffentlicht. Stattdessen zieht sich Texas Instruments im selben Jahr komplett aus dem Heimcomputergeschäft zurück und verramscht die Restbestände für 50 Dollar das Stück. Was bleibt, sind rund 2,8 Millionen verkaufte Geräte weltweit – und ein paar Chips wie der Soundbaustein SN76489, die in vielen anderen Systemen noch lange weiterleben.

It's the UConn Popcast, and we've been experiencing a revolution in the past few years, as artificial intelligence becomes an increasingly common part of everyday life. Powerful AI tools are now integrated into our work, our schools, our creative industries, and our experiences of dating and companionship. This is a disorientating experience, one that changes not only our views of technology, but of ourselves. Can we look to a past technological revolution for help?   We revisit Sherry Turkle's classic text The Second Self: Computers and the Human Spirit (MIT Press, 1985) on how the sudden spread of the personal computer through society in the 1980s similarly challenged the human relationship to technology. What can Turkle's text, which combined the fields of ethnography, psychoanalysis, and technology and society, tell us about today's AI revolution? Learn more about your ad choices.

In dieser Zwischenfolge gibt es es zur Abwechslung mal nichts Neues vom Ballaballa-Balkan, sondern eine ganze Menge Altes! Denn was einige von Euch vielleicht schon geahnt haben: Danijel ist ein Nerd! Nicht nur ein Politik-Nerd, sondern auch einer von diesen merkwürdigen Leuten die auf alte Computer und Videospielkonsolen stehen. Und zwar so richtig alte. Leider kann er darüber mit Krsto ("Ich habe auch mal N64 gespielt") nicht so richtig fachsimpeln. Deshalb hat er sich für diese Folge einen kompetenteren Gesprächspartner gesucht: die Retro-Legende Senad Palić. Gemeinsam sprechen sie über ihre eigene Computer- und Videospiele-Biografie als Gastarbeiter-Kinder, über die merkwürdige Erfahrung, dass manchmal die Verwandtschaft in Jugoslawien technisch besser ausgestattet war und natürlich über das absolute Nischen-Thema: Heimcomputer der 80er-Jahre aus JUGOSLAWISCHER PRODUKTION.
