Was just going to post this but you beat me to it! This was a fun read, and introduced me to vogons where I think I'll be spending some time.
- DMell 3y agoIt was an amazing read! I still have so much more digging to do from it.
- mysterydip 3y agoVogons is a great place with lots of experts on vintage software and hardware. Definitely recommend it to anyone interested in either running old stuff or just on history/tidbits/how-things-worked like that post.
- ridgered4 3y agoThey also have a collection of old drivers that have become hard to find with time.
- chungy 3y agoJust don't read their poetry.
- akiselev 3y agoHonestly the Vogons were only the third worst poets in the universe. If you can read awful human poetry like anything by Paula Nancy Millstone Jennings, they won't faze you.

- lproven 3y agoIn the original radio series, the name was Paul Neil Milne Johnstone… who was an actual schoolfriend, or at least was at school with, Douglas Adams. He didn't appreciate being name-checked in the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy so it had to be changed. I believe that if you closely watch the fake video graphics in the BBC TV series, you can see some of Adams' best efforts to remember Johnstons actual "poetry" on screen.
