   Pie is such a gift. My wife died nearly ten years ago and soon afterwards, I took up pie baking, which is something that she loved to do (I just loved to eat it — since childhood I've had a birthday pie instead of cake). I had all the

   It looks to me to have: - NEW - GTO (GOTO) - LST (LIST) - END - RUN - FOR - NXT (NEXT) - LOD (LOAD) - STP (STOP) - RTN (RETURN) All of which are BASIC commands, as well as GTS (go to subroutine, probably like GOSUB). In addition, it would’v

   I bought it the next month (had been using Lite for a few months prior) and I'm still using it. Continuously. I mean, damn.

   Note that i386 does not mean that the 386 is supported. Distros have removed support for 386 for many years, and some for 486 for years as well.

   I should've been more clear. Sure, I started my Linux days on 2.0.36, which booted by floppy, on a Pentium 2. But what I want is some semblance of a distro, with tools and a way to do things, not just rolling my own technically-bootabl

    My search continues for a Linux that will run on my 386SX 25MHz with 8MB RAM. So far I’ve only been able to use ELKS, which technically isn’t a Linux.

    My parents were forward-thinking enough to, when I wanted a tape player in 1985, get me a significantly less cool-looking but more versatile desktop model with the plugs to eventually hook up to a computer for saving & loading. Which on

    Went for the first time a couple weeks ago while on a road trip — incredible! However I counted about two dozen items on display that I own, which tells me I should slow down on the collecting / ramp up the downsizing.

    Anyone else with progressive lenses just think "I already have this"?

    Yes, same here. I have this setup replicated and do demos for people whenever there is interest. It's the strongest connection I have to the arcane old ways of computing as I came after punch cards and paper tape.

    Same! My earliest memory of anything computer programming is from the early 80s, when a snow day had the two neighbor kids, whose parents were teachers in another district, over to our house with their TI-99/4a. The oldest showed me th

    I kind of do a variant of this sometimes with “pause” in the Xcode debugger. If I’ve just encountered some kind of hang or delay, often hitting that will put me in the right place in the threads/call stack to figure out what I did.

    Sure, but wisdom can be shared about what is less likely to make you happy.

    My recollection was the block syntax one being first as well, back when that was added to Objective-C. It was arcane enough to have to look up all the time. They also have this variant, though: http://goshdarnblocksyntax.com&#x2F

    I ran an exhibit of eight machines from my retrocomputing collection last year, including a 1986 Mac Plus with 1MB RAM running Photoshop 1.0. People really enjoyed it! It’s kind of remarkable what you can still do with it and how freeing it

    Oh sure, lots of things to miss about that time... startup vibes, underdog causes during the worst of the Bush years, and work that ranged from the Mac stuff to Linux/BSD backend admin, PHP dev, introduction of the tech team to SVN&#x2
