I am a retro computer and bbs/early internet fan who does information security work as a day job. I am a bit of a retro-generalist though I do tend toward systems that I had or used growing up and starting my career. #tandy Color Computer, #commodore, #apple, but especially early PC.
- Comment on Remembering multi-tasking in MS-DOS: DESQView 7 months ago:
I remember that well. We used DESQView to run our BBS as well. It was only a single line system, but DESQView let us do other things on the computer without taking down the board.
Has anyone played with TriDOS? github.com/prokushev/tridos - it doesn’t look nearly as featured, but has the advantage of being open-source and I thought might be interesting for a project I have in mind.
- Comment on The history of Vim 1 year ago:
Yeah it makes sense - and even now that isn’t an issue, I feel like the ability to “program” your edits is still a great interface for productivity.
