Can we appreciate for a minute that at some point great people came together and created top tier free software that in the past would cost you thousands of dollars?

@kenney Not to mention compilers... Watcom was almost $1000 in its heyday!

Yeah computers don't drop you at a BASIC prompt when you turn them on anymore but on the other hand the kids still have it pretty good in other ways these days. 😌

@indigoparadox @kenney I was thinking the same thing. Heck even Java and .NET can be installed and used totally free. Stuff like that would have been very expensive or quite limited back in the day
