  That thing needs some serious retrobrighting.

    IIRC the VT-100 was naturally more yellow-brown than beige.

      Brand-new they were pretty white (and gray)

  My eyesight is getting worse but is that person typing nude?
  • Y_Y 5y ago
    Certainly not! He's wearing a watch.
    • Tsiklon 5y ago
      I can see trouser pockets! either that or they're wearing a holster in the nude - which is a whole other ballgame entirely.

        Did you really have to use "ballgame"?

  Lot of folks who have only used Linux would be stumped if they see "cd: not found"
  • doublepg23 5y ago
    I am confused, where did "cd" come from and why did it replace "chdir"?
    • Taniwha 5y ago
      cd arrived in the v7 Bourne shell, v6's shell was by Ken Thompson (it's just the name of the system call that cd calls)
• doublepg23 5y ago
  Wow, why is this video unlisted?
• Taniwha 5y ago
  heh - always sync twice - almost 40 years later my fingers still do that sometimes when I'm thinking .... (I used to port Unix for a living, early ports were always a tad unstable after that first prompt)
