Passport turns 10 this year (technically July 12). Time flies when you're cracking.

So I was trying Mouse Calc for the first time on my Apple IIe - looks fine for mid-80s spreadsheet software - but the most interesting part is a weird failure mode when quitting: the normally monochrome text was light gray instead of white and there were multiple areas with background colors. I knew that some modes on Apple's RGB card allowed text colors, but I didn't know until now that my Taxan RGB card could also do it.

I'm having second thoughts about selling my CGA monitor as this effect is neat.

I had only ever known ski lifts.

One day, way before the lifts had started, I hiked up the mountain, snowboard under my arm. Trudging, my breath heavy, lungs filling, oxygen, snow, blue sky, cold but my body warmed. There was not one track in the fresh powder. My snowboard was slower in the powder, and I felt safe in the knowledge. I had to work a little harder. Carving.

Interestingly, my Taxan 410-64 RGB card passes the RamWorks 1 tests (well, at least it does for 64K).

Edit: the lack of errors is impressive considering it's all MT RAM from 1983
