      Thanks for this, it’s great. Much more accessible than my own archive, which is in a box, in the loft, in my mums house 4500 miles away in the UK!

      Your archive is amazing. So very nice

      When I clicked the https link it redirects down to http and port 81. If I remove the 81 port sore indication it unlocks the magic.

        Yeah… I have idea why. When I go to the site itself and click, it doesn’t do this… I’ll track it down at some point.

          Suitably impressed. If you get your network sorted your archive should be a top level post here on 2sb.

          After all it’s all about the internet points.

    I know it’s fashionable to hate on BillG these days, but the guy was an excellent software engineer and a shrewd (if at times unethical) business man. The two greatest achievements of his, imho, were mentioned and they made me smile: 8080/Altair BASIC and the Model 100 software system. Just outstanding.

    I get what is being said, but some like Perifractic owning Commodore gives me more hope. I just hope he exercises good judgement on who and what can use the trademark.

    Well… that would be umm… amazing.
  • BirAdam 99 days ago | parent | on: OS/2 is 25 Years Old
    I absolutely love OS/2, and I have since I was a kid playing with my brother’s laptop. OS/2’s voice recognition was great for the time, the tooling and object oriented abilities were mind-blowing at the time, and I loved the look and feel of versions 3 and 4. Just great. Using it now makes me sad. It should have won, and IBM just kept making the wrong moves.

    I truly enjoyed webOS. I was a Palm fan, both of the Pilot and the Treo. When webOS was released, I found a slick interface, a Linux shell, and gorgeous hardware. It was wonderful. Sadly, both Android and iPhone stole the market. Still, Apple’s MagSafe has continued the charging system of those devices and the cards interface has been replicated to some extent. Many parts continue, many more do not.

    Love the site style, love the content.

    This makes me happier than it probably should.

    This is great, though I really wish there were a converter/viewer for 8088 or V20.
