Welcome to the most minimal version of FRST on the web. This non-imagemap version of the site may be more suitable for your browser and just as accessible and useful as the more full-featured (but still smol) web experience.
FRST Computer is an artisan personal computer company focused on building communities. We take inspiration from the creative engineers of the past and seek to apply their wisdom that we might make a new present for personal computing and secure its future -- for a few of us, at least.
We are a gopher-first, retro-inclusive business -- taking orders by gopher, http (plain), email, phone and accepting checks and money orders delivered to our PO Box. (Venmo, too) We don't do subscriptions. We just sell hand-crafted hardware and share our accompanying software.

A hyper-local, Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) bulletin board system (BBS) -- encapsulated in a fanciful, crystalline 3D-printed enclosure. It is powered by 9P and Zephyr. Buy one and live (relive?) that SysOp life!

This deck defines ultra-personal computing. It runs 9front. It has a 36-key keyboard, touchpad, Raspberry Pi Zero and a LoRa radio. It has magnets and quarters and it's pretty rad. We'll build you one.

Computing should be Personal, Creative and Fun.
It should foster Community.
It must be Simple.
