cartridge computing fucking rules

yeah i said it

not sure why i said it but i did

i decided upon a 'testbed' cartridge instead of 'utilities' because lol what utilities are tiny, but i actually do have a use for a testbed OS cartridge to test newer versions of ubuntu against studio software, particularly new LTS releases, and also 64 bit, because yeah I'm on 32-bit still because of concerns about plugins. but with a separate cartridge (hard drive and booting system) then i can try them without fear.

THIS ACTUALLY SOLVES A PROBLEM

and i hate that

it's so stupid

(if you're just catching up, i'm using an external eSata harness to have a cartridge-slot-like multi-boot system with different SSD hard drives, which, I realised, are basically cartridges like from the old Sega Genesis and before. so i'm running with it because that's the kind of shit i do.)

(the extra storage carts are for power-users with multi-cartridge-slot systems OBVIOUSLY)

Thanks ♥

Honestly my favourite thing is the logo. Mix of Atari cartridge system and Commodore 8-bit fonts, and the old lower-case intel "i" and the original Atari logo and Apple and Commodore rainbow colours.
