It is overlong, sadly, yes. It was written in some haste, despite considerable planning -- see my docs uploaded to the Internet Archive, for instance -- because one of my planned, agreed interviewees for Retro Tech Week dropped out at the last minute and left me without an article, and I had to rush this.
Je n’ai fait celle-ci plus longue que parce que je n’ai pas eu le loisir de la faire plus courte.
- zwieback 3y agoBummer about the rush, lots of good stuff in the article, hopefully you'll get another chance to condense it. Definitely brought back a lot of memories for me, my OS/2 phase was a lot of fun and I was sad when it ended.
- lproven 3y agoThanks! > my OS/2 phase was a lot of fun and I was sad when it ended. Same. I have been playing around with eComStation and ArcaOS recently. They are amazingly fast on elderly Core 2 Duo era kit where any modern Linux distro is sluggish... but I can't get wifi working. https://www.theregister.com/2023/01/19/retro_tech_week_arca_os/ https://www.theregister.com/2023/01/19/retro_tech_week_arca_... https://www.theregister.com/2023/09/04/arcaos_51/ https://www.theregister.com/2023/09/04/arcaos_51/
