Scott posted an awesome list here. http://www.hanselman.com/blog/10AwesomeThingsIRememberAboutComputers.aspx AS for me quickly: wow lots of memories there! similar with vic20 and tape drive. others would be coding in basic then 6502 assembler of c64. Once took over the 1541 disk drives CPU to use a a “coprocessor” to do 3d calcs. another making my own bootsector OS for 386 that was 32 bit. Messing with Himem, Qemm, etc is a memory, but not fun. Reading a Peter Norton book on x86 assembler, i was blown away that x86 has a multiplication opcode. typing in stuff from oldschool mags were great also FIDONET!!!!!!! Dialing overseas BBSs to download demoscene productions. http://www.hanselman.com/blog/CommentView.aspx?guid=4857D217-FBCA-49D9-AFCC-B78CB9EC022F#5bce0922-c087-4707-9819-bfb2fe4faf88
a place for me to post geek stuff. Stuff that maybe just things i am interested in, or content of my own. Things that are maybe just for myself, rather than on my own blog, or maybe i don't want to overburden my main blog, but things that are a bit bigger and longer lasting than a tweet
