IBM, as one of the world’s largest computer company and system integrator, has been created many different types of computers. Amongst the IBM’s computers, the IBM PCjr is considered the very first attempt of IBM corporate to enter the market for relatively inexpensive educational and home-use personal computers.
The IBM PCjr introduced in 1984 and it has a 4.77MHz processor, 128KB of RAM and 360KB floppy disks for storage. If we compared these features to the recently computers, it’s totally outdated!
Well, instead of keep putting the unused IBM PCjr in the storeroom, isn’t it better to modify it a little bit and turn it into Twittjr?
Did you know that Twittjr is a marvelous system that allows an old IBM PCjr to search the public timeline on Twitter? Ok, you’re wondering, “How the Twittjr works?”
Well, let’s say you have a IBm PCjr. First of all, you must hook it to an internet-connected computer. The PCjr is used to call the server and establishes a modem connection, which it uses to send a request for whatever search term the user have entered into the computer. Then, the server uses the Twitter Search API to download the three most recent posts on the public timeline and displays them on the screen! [grantovich.net]
