| The Breaking In Of The New Computer Saga is almost over. Modems that didn't work and new drivers that needed to be downloaded. But all is mostly well now and much to catch up on...such as work.
There seems to more nostalgia software sites out their. I reported earlier on finding Lode Runner. Now I find out that Dan Bricklin has re-released the original Visicalc for the IBM PC. Visicalc was the first actually useful program on the pc (personal computer - which can be Apple or IBM). It actually was developed on the Apple II. I first saw it on my Apple IIE that was my office computer in 1983. The same one that had Lode Runner on it. Back in the days when 128k of memory in RAM was *hot*. No hard drives and single sided 5 1/4 floppies. The hot set up was two floppy drives - one for the program and one for data. That was about the same time MTV started. At least computers have come a long way. |
