My first operating system was CP/M. An operating system created in 1974 by Gary Kildall, the founder of Digital Research. Few people knows who was Gary Kildall (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gary_Kildall) and his CPM (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CP/M).

Apple and Microsoft have taken the history for them..

The Zune is a killer mp3 player despite the crap it got. I LOVED my Zune.

I got a bit sad just now - on this early 2000s Dell I re-set up the other day, there's some old Zune art files on it. Some jerk broke my car window and took my Zune from my car when I lived in Florida probably ~2006. I had a beautiful brown one like the one below, and I'd still have it today if that dick hadn't taken it.

I WILL buy another one someday. 🔥

Going through some old photos, from ten years ago, I came across the one I used when I sold my Sharp Zaurus SL-5500.

Seeing it again brought back nostalgic memories. I really liked the form factor, which was easy to hold in one hand. The flip up screen cover was practical, and the slide-out keyboard was really useful. It was aesthetically pleasing, too.

I miss you, old friend.
