Stone Tools is a new retrocomputing blog "[...] about the productivity software of the 8/16-bit home computing era". I heartily welcome a blog that focuses on non-gaming software as it's a less covered topic in the retrocomputing space.

I just wrote a blog piece about some people who showed the impressive-looking RSA-2048 facotrization on a quantum computer was in fact trivial.
They demonstrated this result by running it on (an emulator for) a Commodore VIC-20, a 6502-based consumer computer from about 1980.
@amoroso@old-bytes.space Did accounting software in Basic ‘84-5 on Z80s. One client sent us a TRS-80 Model 16 to port the software. Xenix was fun to play with in my idle time. There was an interactive C tutor called ‘learn’.
