Floppy Days 160 - The KayPro, Part 4, with Matt Jones Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/FloppyDays Sponsors: 8-Bit Classics Arcade Shopper FutureVision Research Tuc's Workbench YouTube Channel: https://www.YouTube.com/@floppydayspodcast Hello, and welcome to episode 160 of the Floppy Days Podcast for February, 2026. I'm Randy Kindig, your host. We are currently covering computers introduced in the year 1982 and, to that end, we are at the tail end of a series of podcasts about the Kaypro line of computers. Kaypro had a rich and varied family of computers; certainly much more so than I ever realized. I was able to interview David Kay, son of the founder of KayPro, and president of the company for some time, in the first two episodes. Last month, Matthew Jones, an aficionado of the KayPro computers and owner of many of the models, helped me talk about KayPro history, tech specs, and more, through the topic of using the machine. This month Matt and I complete the KayPro series by starting with books and magazines and ending with current Web sites and a lot more content in between. I will have a video version of this episode posted to the Floppy Days Podcast channel on YouTube (https://www.YouTube.com/@floppydayspodcast ) that will be available for everyone soon (after the early access period for Patreon supporters has expired). So, please consider becoming a subscriber on YouTube. Doing so helps support the podcast. You will hear ads from some great vintage computer stores, themselves vintage computer fans, throughout the early part of this podcast. For all of these storefronts, when you place an order, please mention Floppy Days in the notes or comments of the order. Doing so will help support the podcast. Many thanks!!

A loss for Swindon men in the STFC derby but a chance to put it right midweek. A win for Swindon women and midweek action at the CG. And a review of the FRI derby between Bassett and Corsham - it is a packed show.
After one point from nine leaves County five points adrift at the bottom of the Fourth Division, Ed caught up with Alfie, Logan and debutant George to ask what went wrong against Grimsby, Swindon and Franchise - and how on earth we can extract ourselves from this mess.Do check out our shiny new website and drop us a line on the socials if you have anything to tell us, including feedback on our new theme tune (the original 1973 recording of Run Lads, Shoot Lads). Thanks as ever to the Riverside Sports Bar for their support of the pod.We'll be back with a fresh episode in a week's time. Until then, look after yourselves and each other, and above all Keep It County. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Four games, two wins, one draw and one defeat, but that doesn't do justice to the transformation we saw against Swindon. We try to dissect the last four games.
Hugh Woozencroft is joined by the former Luton and Swindon striker Sam Parkin to look back at the weekend's action from the EFL. They discuss if Coventry will hold their nerve and gain promotion to the Premier League after squandering a 10-point lead at the top of the division, and they debate if Leicester can stay up following their 6-point deduction last week. Adam Drury from the Watford Observer joins the show to react to Edward Still's appointment as the new Watford manager & how the appointment came about. They also round up the latest action from League One and League Two, and Charlie Keegan from the Progress With Unity Podcast discusses what next for Wigan after sacking manager Ryan Lowe. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Well that was a week, wasn't it? After the high of the Chesterfield win, Jamie, Jack, and Alfie dissect those defeats to Accrington Stanley and Bristol Rovers, as well as a curious transfer deadline day. We're also keen to highlight the 15:01 kick off time for this weekend's Grimsby match. It's for the Every Minute Matters campaign with British Heart Foundation to raise awareness on CPR training. 8 out of 10 cardiac arrests outside of hospitals occur at home, and survival chances drop 10% for every minute without intervention. So look after your loved ones and teach yourselves the basics by checking out BHF Revivr for a 15 minute course entirely for free. Also, huge, huge thanks to everyone who has donated to the GoFundMe for Ollie - we've been blown away.We'll be back after the Grimsby home game, possibly before Swindon away. But until then, look after yourselves and each other, and above all Keep It County.Thanks as ever to the Riverside Sports Bar for their support of the pod. Our theme is Virgo by Sean T.

A van selling coffee and sandwiches from an office car park doesn't sound like anything special, but there's one in Swindon helping to keep young offenders out of custody. It's part of an approach being deployed across the country trying to prevent young people from reoffending by encouraging a shift in their identity. The idea is to get to know the young offender, figure out what makes them tick. And then, instead of locking them up, find ways of getting them involved in whatever interests them. Selling tea and coffee from the burger van is where those with a culinary eye can learn new skills and start to feel valued for being part of legitimate endeavours. Similar interventions include social enterprises working in bicycle maintenance, hair and beauty and podcasting. As the adult prison population has soared in England and Wales, the number of under-18s behind bars has dropped markedly in the past 20 years, from around 3000 to 400. File on 4 Investigates spends time with the Youth Justice Service in Swindon to find out how it rehabilitates young offenders in the local community, and asks if the success of the youth system could hold lessons to address chronic overcrowding problems in adult prisons. Chris Marston, who presents shows on National Prison Radio and spent 10 months in prison discovers that what's going on in Swindon is very different from his own experiences of the adult criminal justice system.Reporter: Chris Marston Producer: Beth McLeod Technical Producer: Craig Boardman Production Co-ordinator: Tim Fernley Editor: Nick HollandMain Image: Presenter Chris Marston in front of the Solid Ground coffee van in Swindon.
Get ready to do the "Lube the Anaconda and the Candle" (or maybe just a more sensible Twist or Watusi), as we hit the floor with songs that are about, inspired, or mention dance crazes. Joining us for all sorts of "idiot dancing" is the triumphant return of Barry Andrews to O3L! During Barry's last appearance in E246, we talked about his career spanning from the early days of Swindon's finest, XTC, to Iggy and Fripp, to Shriekback's extensive and ambitious catalogue. This time, we have more cause for celebration, as the new Shriekback album, MONUMENT, is out now, and is among his finest releases! He's not shouting at you...or is he?!? Plus, we've got a brand new O3L game for you - "Dancing with Ourselves." Do you have what it takes to go up against Barry and Uncle Gregg to name dance craze related songs? This is a fun one, kids. Now let's do all 16 dances! Proud members of the Pantheon Podcasts family. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Simon Scriver's Amazingly Ultimate Fundraising Superstar Podcast
Welcome to the Fundraising Everywhere Podcast, today, we've got something a little bit different for you. To celebrate our upcoming recruitment and careers conference coming up on Thursday 20th November, we've decided to hand the mic over to our guest host Rory White in this special series of episodes called 'It Started On The Street'. Rory will be chatting to some brilliant leaders in the charity sector and beyond about their journeys since they started their careers as dialogue fundraisers. "Charlotte Forest began her fundraising career with Push, a well-known agency at the very start of face-to-face fundraising in the UK. After that, she moved to Gift, where she built a long and varied career — starting out as a fundraiser, then stepping up to team leader, and eventually managing multiple regions across the country. This gave her an incredible breadth of experience before she transitioned into the charity sector when Gift closed. Today, she's Director of Income Generation at a hospice in Swindon. In our conversation, Charlotte shares how the resilience and skills she developed on the street shaped her career, and how those lessons continue to influence her work today. It's a really insightful and enjoyable discussion — I think you'll get a lot from it."

Charlie Austin is back with us this time in person, after his stint down under, where he faced off against legends like Nani and dealt with the perils of Aussie wildlife, from swooping magpies to snakes in the garden. Starting out while working as a builder playing for Poole town he got a move to Swindon where he quickly formed a great partnership with Billy Paynter and isn't upset at all that Billy is known as the king. Meanwhile off the pitch there were naked streaks at Cheltenham & burglary pranks. Quickly climbing up the leagues Austin went from builder to Premier League in the space of 6 years, while along the way he worked under the likes of Harry Redknapp, Sean Dyche & Eddie Howe. At Southampton Austin had great moments playing in Europe including an infamous standoff with Dusan Tadic but most importantly he provided one of the greatest interviews the Premier League has ever seen.
