Title: My 1995 AcerNote 760i with a Cyrillic keyboard still works (via VGA). Does anyone know this serial number format?

Hello everyone,

I'd like to show you my old veteran from the mid-90s: an AcerNote 760i. It's the 486-based "i" model, with a built-in trackball in the center (the modern generation doesn't always figure out how to use it right away). It wasn't a cheap machine back in the day.

The keyboard has Cyrillic legends printed directly on the keys in a second, lighter font, not stickers. We all remember the 90s stickers that wore off and peeled. These look like proper printing and are still perfectly readable. I'm not sure if it was done by Acer or by a local distributor.

I left the "Spider-Man 3" sticker on the case. It's part of the laptop's history now.

Unfortunately the built-in screen is dead after 30 years. But I connected the laptop to an external monitor through the VGA port on the back, and it came back to life: the motherboard, CPU and graphics work fine, and the picture is great. So the old flagship will keep fighting.

Now a question. Here's what the label on the bottom says:

Model No.: 760I

Ext. No.: B43

Serial No.: P002397

MFG. Date: 950512 (12 May 1995)

FCC ID: GQ8760I

HDD Type: 34

Made in Taiwan R.O.C.

Does anyone know what the "P" prefix in the serial number means (production line, factory, pilot batch, region)? Is this format normal for the 760i? Does yours start with P too? I also couldn't find any other 760i with a Russian keyboard online. Has anyone seen one?

Photos: keyboard, label, and the laptop connected to a monitor. Thanks!

I've always had mixed feelings about both the old Minecraft textures and the newer Jappa style, so I'm trying something different.

I'm using both old and modern textures, but reworking their colors. I add more color variation inside each texture so that similar shades don't constantly sit next to each other and form boring gradients.

I also sometimes change the base color of a material when I feel it doesn't look right — for example, making stone look more like actual stone.

The goal isn't to make Minecraft look realistic or simply bring back Programmer Art. I want to create a third visual style of my own.

Still very much a work in progress, but I'd love to know what you think.

Hi everyone! I’ve been working on porting the classic Natura mod to 1.20.1.

The port is currently 70% done. Most of the core features and world gen are working correctly. I’m also polishing the localization to match the modern Minecraft style.

However, Natura is huge, and I’ve realized that the amount of textures is a bit overwhelming for one person. I want this port to look great and feel consistent with modern versions.

I’m looking for texture artists! If you love Natura and want to help me finish the remaining 30% by updating/polishing the textures, please DM me or leave a comment. Let’s bring those giant redwoods back!

This is for my upcoming resource pack. I'm completely new to texturing mobs specifically, and I’m still learning. Any feedback or advice would be amazing!
