I dug into my book archive and found my 32-year-old DataPerfect Reference (January 8, 1993).

My old HP Compaq NC6120 stopped working with Linux AntiX. The last boot crashed. It is an very old one from 2007 with all the nice interfaces such as a parallel printer printer port, RS232 serial port, VGA port, 3x USB and a DVD-writer. It is a real electronics tech machine.

I installed FreeDos 1.4. No network and USB support yet. Options: NetMount client 1.5.0 and server 1.4.1 to connect to my Linux PC.

All open source free software has been working without any problems so far. I have revived an old friend. It feels like coming home after so many years.

DataPerfect 2.6 and the word processor Ability3 runs under FreeDOS.

A tip for installing Turbo Pascal 7. When you download TP, you will receive four separate diskette images. You can open them with Disk Image Mount in Linux LMDE6. Copy all files from all 4 disk images to the root of a memory stick and insert the stick before booting FreeDOS. The stick will be automatically recognized by the laptop (in my case) and you can start the installation. Everything runs quickly and smoothly. Don't forget to add the “Divide by Zero” patch. Have fun.

Nostalgia: Turbo Pascal 7 installed. Is it usable? No idea, it's just fun to be working with FreeDOS and TP again.

The Euphoria programming language is included in the FreeDOS program library. A beautiful language, easy to learn and very fast. The data objects in the language consist of numeric values or lists of numeric values. Text, numbers, and character strings can be part of a series. I bought the language in 1997 for $49.00.

If a USB memory stick is offered before the PC boots up, the stick will be available as a drive after startup. So the USB problem is solved for now. The annoying thing is having to restart your PC every time you change the memory stick.

"When Australian artificial intelligence expert Dr Kobi Leins declined a medical specialist’s request to use AI transcription software during her child’s upcoming appointment, the practice told her the practitioner required the technology be used and Leins was "welcome to seek an alternative" provider."

We are giving our lives and health over to a piece of super dangerous AI crap. All for supposed efficiency and cost savings and to make the tech bros richer.

Kobi refused a doctor's AI. She was told to go elsewhere

Unregulated AI scribes raising privacy, security concerns.
