TIL Woz built his own Pong from scratch.

And his own TV Arpanet terminal. o_O

(The Arpanet more or less became the Internet.) https://www.fastcompany.com/91514404/apple-founding-50th-anniversary-apple-1-apple-ii-jobs-wozniak?mvgt=E5Loo3fO74zl #ComputerHistory

Until watching this video I never knew about the big reason behind the a.out to ELF shift in Linux. I love watching him install very early Linux versions, going back to the OG "distroy" with kernel 0.98 from back in 1992 on vintage hardware. #linux #RetroComputing #ComputerHistory

Is 1995 the Last Time I Install Debian?

What came after 486?

Changing from part numbers had benefits for Intel, but it took time

In an alternate universe somewhere, nobody has heard of “webcomics.” Instead, there are thousands of “telecomics.”

In 1992, Don Lokke Jr. coined the term “telecomics” to describe his new digital comic strips, drawn primarily in the ANSI art format and distributed online through BBSes.

This is the final in-depth profile in my "ANSI art and webcomics" series!

This is a very cool retrocomputing project. He's taking a modern clone of an old 8088 card for the Apple II that was designed to run CP/M, plus the newly released source code to MS-DOS 2.0 to get MS-DOS running on the Apple II. This video is a summary of progress to date, with a lot more details in his blog #RetroComputing #ComputerHistory #apple2
