CDE and Dwarf Fortress running on the Out-of-Stock DevTerm

I want this gorgeous little slab computer so bad, it hurts.

I have generally been trying to avoid purchasing new computer hardware but, gosh darn it, I really want a Clockwork DevTerm.

Unfortunately, the DevTerm has been “Out of Stock” — with no posted ETA of when it will be possible to order new units (presumably due to all the shipping issues that have been hitting the whole country). So I am left pining over pictures that others have been posting of this magnificent looking little slab computer.

I mean… just look at it!

DevTerm running CDE

There is something truly glorious about the old Common Desktop Environment running on a slab computer, reminiscent of the old TRS-80 Model 100. It’s like the early 1980s meets the mid 1990s… in the 2020s.

Dwarf Fortress on a DevTerm

Dwarf Fortress — which I consider to be among the best Command Line video games — running on a little slab computer? Yes please. I’ll take two.

Why am I posting this? Because it’s awesome. I want one. And I can’t order one.

If I have to suffer, then so do you. :)
