- JetSpiegel 12y agoForget about that, there's Pinball.
- vram22 12y agoYour saying Pinball, combined with the topic of this post - i.e. older computers and operating systems - reminded me of the book The Soul of a New Machine: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Soul_of_a_New_Machine http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Soul_of_a_New_Machine which I read some years ago. A fantastic story. Pinball is mentioned in it. Anyone interested, don't go by the description in the Wikipedia article; it may be only partially accurate, and anyway cannot do justice to the book. Try to get hold of an online or offline copy and read it. I'm not endorsing (or otherwise) any of the practices or principles described in the book - just found it a fascinating story. According to Wikipedia: "The book won the 1982 National Book Award for Nonfiction[1] and a Pulitzer Prize for General Non-Fiction." Current and former startupistas may be reminded by the book, of some aspects of their life/work-styles, whether good or bad.
