And
I noted it at The TTN Conference as well, many ‘oldies’ in this IoT business
a contrast with the regular Amsterdam Meetup scene
Indeed … no age discrimination at The Things Network ! 
God, you guys are making me feel old. Nascom 2, 1981. 300 baud ex-British Telecom modem… Those were the days…

ahh… 1981 … My first IoT project
I hooked up my lights and radio to the VIC20, and ditched my alarm clock 
(truth to be said; I did not built the Hardware for it; I was Software, I am Software)
1981… we started our first company

I did not have time yet, I was working on a simple peer-to-peer app to test different antennas with different nodes on their rssi and snr values.
I hope to start with the new stuff in a few weeks.

How about a Sinclair ZX81? Not sure what ever happened to our Spectrum, it was a new era of computing by comparison! I remember saving basic programs from the ZX81 to cassette tapes on my little brother’s tape player. Sibling rivalries sometimes meant exchange of currency to save a full day of finger numbing membrane keyboard entry!

And frustration began immediately, my father’s TV hadn’t a SCART connexion

@cle Can i ask how you mounted the antenna connector on the left one? Is it directly to the board or just laying there connected with wires?
The SMA connector is soldered onto the Perma-Proto board. Connected to GND and the center pin to the RFM95 (ANT) with a short wire.
wow… bought a win 10 pro key for €3,55 on eBay
thinking it is a scam, but he, within a few minutes got a mail with the key
and instructions to download w10
called someone who knows a lot about licensing and stuff… he says its legit.
now… only problem is I don’t have a spare computer to test this key
- found one … here we go
- update
the first key didn’t work, I mailed and within the hour I received another one and …
€3,55 … should be in the bargain basement 
you can buy these adafruit protoboards here
(one of my favorite nl online shops… yes spam )
