Catch of the Day - Good Friday Edition: Of Ataris and Crazy Emulators! 🕹️🦇

Hey Retro Fans!

You just don't stop amazing us! Our log files from the past 24 hours read like the script for a documentary on crazy hardware tinkering.

The absolute highlights of the day:

🦇 Atari ST is online: We had visits from HighWire – the custom-built browser for Atari's classic TOS (Tramiel Operating System). It’s an incredible feeling to serve our text content to a 16-bit system from the late 80s!

🎮 Netscape 4.0 on a PSP?! Yes, you read that right. Someone actually got the Netscape Navigator from 1997 running on a PlayStation Portable (with a massive 653 clicks!). This is most likely running via a homebrew Linux port or a DOSBox emulation on the handheld. Absolute madness!

👔 The Business Dinos live: We also recorded visits from old BlackBerry 10 devices and a genuine IBM OS/2 Warp system!

Whether you’re dragging your old Ataris out of the basement or testing obscure emulators on consoles – the Frog pond is open for you. Keep it up!

Jack Tramiel, chairman of #Atari Corp., in 1989, regarding the dominance of PC clones and Macs:

"The machines they make are like cigarettes – they’re bad for you, but an awful lot of people are hooked on using them. They’re expensive and they’re all alike.

"When I talk about a personal computer, I mean personal – a computer for the individual, not for a company. And that means a computer that the individual can afford."

I covered the STate of Atari in '89 here:

@blakespot You got that backwards, no *BETTER* machine. It's a sweet machine, from the time of the changer & CDs.

If I'd replaced my Mega ST with Falcon instead of a 486 & OS/2 I'd've basically done exactly that. Only had the one CDROM drive on the 486.
