Are there any #parents out there who never wanted kids, then had them and now are happy they did and wouldn't change a thing? I'd like to hear your story and ask some questions, if that's OK.

Bonus points if you have adhd and are extremely bad at adulting and/or are someone who needs a lot of alone time.

Thank you and boosting is very much appreciated 🙏

Me: "I wonder what inspired the look of the 'safe to turn off your computer' screen in Windows 95."

Burger King in 1968:

In 1978, Prof. Verbaeten ported 7th Ed. Unix to the Motorola 68000 at KU Leuven in Belgium. This port is not archived at TUHS, only mentioned here:
https://eng.kuleuven.be/en/stories/50-years-of-computer-science-engineering
https://museum.cs.kuleuven.be/misc/Tim_Ameye_Sander_Van_Loock_40-jaar.pdf (p. 12)

There's also a paper describing the port which is not available:
Verbaeten, P., Berbers, Y. (1983). Porting Unix. In: Proceedings of UNICOM Conference, San Diego.

If you happen to have pointers to any of this, I would be happy to hear from you!

My latest project is code-named "Total Reprint." I ported The Print Shop (1986) to ProDOS and made it hard-drive-installable. Then I made some other improvements, like live previews of third-party graphics and borders. It's bundled with every graphic, border, and font that Broderbund ever released, plus hundreds of other openly licensed graphics that I back-ported from modern artists.

Come to INIT HELLO in July for the product launch. <https://init-hello.org/>
