  1. For All Butterflies: A Copycat

    Yes, I'm a bit of a copycat here, given that For All Time and David Bar Elias's anti-FaT are my inspiration. My POD is Stalin dying in 1941, and the history post-WWII is vague (its intended to be mildly utopic, but not extremely so), but I'd like to throw out a few "how are the doings" and ask...

  2. Tech: Tramiel stays with Commodore, No Atari Buyout

    In OTL, after losing a power struggle with Commodore's board of directors, Jack Tramiel left Commodore, founded his own company (Tramel Technologies - no, that's not a misspelling, if you can believe Wikipedia), and later bought Atari from Warner Communications. This begets two major...

  3. Rolled-up Asian Dominated World...

    Sometimes, when I'm bored, I come up with AH scenarioes by coming up with a group of nations and rolling computer dice to determine the relative power strength of each in a TL, or asking a question and deciding 'evens yes, odds no' or something like that. So... Yesterday, I did just that. I'll...

  4. Language in a Unified Americas

    I would like to know what the linguistic effects would be if both North and South America, prior to 1850, were completely or almost completely unified under a relatively democratic and open regime, with significant immigration from the Old World, a large degree of internal movement and trade...

  5. Hybrid Vigor Technology

    Talk about misunderstanding what a thread is about: What if Honda started a hybrid program earlier and their first hybrid car was a version of the Acura Vigor?

  6. Star Trek, the spaghetti Sci-Fi

    WI Star Trek was produced for a US audience, but filmed/recorded not in southern California as OTL but in Italy, home to many "spaghetti westerns"? Yeah, yeah, its yet another "bannedwagon"-type variant... so sue me. :p

  7. Germ of an AH Idea: Roman Empire fails 1st-2nd centuries AD

    I've got an idea for a de-Latinized world puttering around in my head, but I don't think I have the energy or the will to make a full TL out of it (aside from which I still have some stuff for my computer industry TL that I'll eventually put up). There's basically a double/triple/quadruple...

  8. A Different Computer Industry TL..

    I've decided to develop a rough TL from my whole 'Different computer Industry' stuff. There's multiple small PODs, but the primary ones are... 1984: 1. The IBM PCjr comes out with a slightly better keyboard and is priced just a touch better. It becomes a success (albeit a modest one), rather...

  9. Different post-1984 Computer Industry

    It's gonna take awhile before I get to the WI on this... I was able to check out a copy of "The Personal Computer Handbook, Newly Revised and Expanded", from 1984 (!), from my school library. It's by Peter A. McWilliams, who was also known for "The Word Processing Handbook" and was apparently...

  10. Hungary Joins NATO, 1956

    This is borderline-ASB, but... On November 3, 1956, just a matter of hours before the OTL Soviet Invasion of Hungary, NATO admits Hungary as its newest member. Effectively, this means that any Soviet attack on Hungary will result in WWIII. It is also a huge kick in the USSR's face. It is also...

  11. Some various Computer PODs

    I'm thinking about some possible computer history PODs in the 1970s-1980s that might have some interesting effects. My goal sorta is to pull a 'The Mists of Time' on the computer industry, and leave a world where not everything is IBM compatible.... - What if the Apple III was a success? OTL it...

  12. Challenge: Austria-Hungary-Serbia triple monarchy

    I was inspired by the "How should Austria handle its Serbia problem" thread to ask this question: is there any way, post 1900 or even post 1880, for Serbia to be an equal dominion of the Hapsburgs to Austria and Hungary? Bonus if Serbia is a willing participant...

  13. Confused Presidents

    Wandering around the political graveyard, you find some interesting things. For example, Imagine the 2000 election resulted in an electoral tie between Jefferson and Burr - well, those would be William Jennings Jefferson of Louisiana (Democrat, OTL congressman and state senator) and Richard M...
