I'm amazed that my beloved CHAOS still runs beautifully on emulators like DOSbox. It was the last programming project where I could completely roll my own interface - and maybe my last really fun one.

Hey Josh! I remember hanging out with you and Laura a long time ago in the Haight! Your beloved CHAOS always got an undeserved bad rap because it was mistakenly confused with KAOS, the international organization of evil bent on world domination, out to get Maxwell Smart and Control! ;) https://getsmart.fandom.com/wiki/KAOS https://getsmart.fandom.com/wiki/KAOS http://www.wouldyoubelieve.com/phrases.html http://www.wouldyoubelieve.com/phrases.html Max: Couldn't you just have shushed him? Siegfried: Ve Don't Shush Here!! Shtarker: Let me let them have it. Dudududududu (making a machine gun noise). Siegfried: Shtarker, zis is KAOS, we don't Dududu here. http://www.wouldyoubelieve.com/kaos.html http://www.wouldyoubelieve.com/kaos.html https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m3n81Xu-t6o https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m3n81Xu-t6o

  Heya Don! Kaos != chaos but KAOS == CHAOS. Shh.
