Hi Daniel . Wait a second. Did you write to Peter Norton ?
I'm a Peter Norton fan. I thought he was retired; he's now in his 80s. I have a few of his books. I learned Assembly with one of his books. I've been searching YouTube, Google, and other sites for a while to learn more about him, but I haven't seen anything recent. I thought he was completely retired and just counting money from his fortune. You've given me a surprise. I'd like to write him a short email as a thank you for his work in the programming world. I'd print his response and put it in my room, framed, even if it's just two lines. Thank you. *Gabriel González González* El jue, 3 jul 2025 a las 3:32, Daniel Essin via Freedos-user (< freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net>) escribió: > Hinall, > > Here's a DOS story from 1983.
