Programming on Early Microcomputers: A Retrospective
- ceautery 13y agoThat was pretty cool, but the image of the 3.5" disk left me groaning anachronistically. Where's my 5.25"? Or better yet, the 8" Wargames-style floppy? Kids these days.
- ajross 13y agoThe machines detailed (where they had storage at all) were primarily using paper tape and audio cassette anyway. Floppy controllers for S-100 machines were still a few years in the future.
- mathattack 13y agoI very much enjoy the relative power of today's programming languages. There is nostalgia, but I don't miss assembler at all.
- egypturnash 13y agoWow, this has to be one of the most annoying mobile styles I've ever seen. There's this big green tab at center left that covers up the beginnings of lines. Right at the place your eyes want to hang out while reading. Tapping it reveals social buttons. No thanks, I'm not sharing this, I don't want to inflict this mobile style on anyone.
- Baustin 13y agoThanks for sharing this. I'm not sure why that green tab is showing up there. It really is annoying. I'll see if I can get that out of there in the next few minutes.
- Baustin 13y agoThis should be all set now. Thanks for letting me know about the issue. You've made this post more readable for millions of nostaglia-starved programmers across the globe!
- egypturnash 13y agoCool, thanks!
