- karmakaze 11y agoFun, Thanks. Noticing that 'Pokey' in the 8-bit Atari emulation is actually the analog in/sound chip--ANTIC was display.
- SyneRyder 11y agoCathode is excellent, and makes working in the terminal so much more enjoyable. There's so many other little touches as well, you can include the sound of an old hard drive whirring up on startup, for instance. I've been trying to find something similar for my Windows 10 machines, but no luck. I wish they'd port it across, but failing that I'd love to hear recommendations for a Windows app like Cathode.
