This USB charger makes a lot of claims on it's sale page, and on the label.

Come along as I take a quick peek inside and see why it isn't what it claims to be.

You really don't want to buy one of these, but here is where I got it:

Schism Tracker

Era davvero tanto ma tanto tempo che non mettevo le mani su Impulse Tracker, in questo caso è il clone moderno identico, e ieri sera mi sono perso come non mi capitava ormai da parecchio, insomma, è un bel passatempo.

More coding with Jez and Andy. We're continuing working on our gunzip clone: we know we will need to be able to look back while we are encoding at recently-written bytes, so this time we're writing a look-back buffer. We could use a crate to provide a circular buffer, but what would be the fun in that?
