With @interlisp Medley Interlisp I'm BBSing like it's 1985. The center window is a terminal emulator with a Telnet session connected to the RC-BOX BBS by @Wintermute_BBS running on a @rc2014 Z80 system. The shell with Telnet as well as Medley Interlisp run on Linux.

｢ Solaris 2.1 for x86, also known as SunOS 5.1, was Sun’s first entry into the PC market (technically it was SunSoft, a subsidiary of Sun Microsystems, who released Solaris). However, it wasn’t Sun’s first x86 operating system. In the late 1980s, Sun sold 386i workstations based on Intel 386 processors. The 386i workstations were not PC compatible and ran SunOS 4.0, a BSD UNIX derivative with many custom Sun enhancements ｣

HEY #retrocomputing folks
You know that retro ISP thing me and like, 20 others have been working on for LITERALLY A YEAR?
Compu-Global-Hyper-Mega-Net (CGHMN) is now IN OPEN BETA!
Bring out your Windows, your Macs, your UNIX boxes and let's get them networked and running services and games like it's 1999 again!
EDIT: And some signup instructions!
Mentioned in today's #lispygopher show, adventure books with computer programming puzzles:
https://archive.org/details/RetroGamingBooksFiction/MicroAdventureNo.1-SpaceAttack1984.pdf
You want all the Micro Adventure, Arcade Explorer, "A Magic Micro Adventure", and Time Lost books. The rest are mostly pick-a-path in videogame worlds with no coding.

That’s somewhat better. 100% infill (was 20%) and top iron at 20% flow (was 10%). Also using the TPU (85A) manufacturer settings file for Bambu P1S.

While I appreciate the craft and the delight of reviving apps, games, and platforms past to make them survive standing on top of new technology, I don't believe that helping grow the codebase available to web browsers (increasingly meaning: Google Chrome) is in our best interest.
Retrofitting the web, modern applications, and knowledge to the old and retrofuture platforms is the more interesting, less tainted, alternative, and potentially beneficial direction.
One approach points in the direction of giving powerful platforms more power. The other, alternative approach gives powerful platforms less power, and it gives "lesser" platforms more of it. And in the process, with a little work and a little hope, maybe fewer of the things we got wrong.
In my opinion.
This curious 1980 book was published in the golden era of bedroom programming and explored many ways of doing business with home computers, from writing software and documentation to consulting and other services. In those simpler times little equipment and investments were needed to get started.
