I realize that -- these days -- shitting on C is pretty much a cottage industry for some people. It does a lot of things wrong by modern standards, no argument from me. That's absolutely a true statement.

But if you had been around back then, with the hardware we had, and seen the language alternatives, you'd realize why it sparked joy for so many people.

Worked on BB-88, my #breadboard #8088cpu computer, today.

I replaced the power supply and the video output circuit to improve the stability and reliability, with mixed results.

On the plus side, the whole computer is now much more stable than before.

On the other hand, the video output is really not great and will definitely need to be reworked.
