Sorry if I came across as "pining for the old days". I know what you mean
about people who boast about using text only web, raw x11 etc.

I just can't read slashdot today without feeling that I'm wasting my time
while the H Online so far provided me with good quality news about things
which interest me.

Cheers,

-Amos

[SLUG] Re: nostalgia

[Geoffrey Cowling]

What's with all this past golden age? I am OLD (punched cards were an
innovation). But I am not tempted
to pine for the Good Old Days. Remember Red Hat before.., remember ...
I grant I do not, and never did, rely on programming etc. for daily bread!
But come on ..
I do not even miss DOS, or Turbo CPM
MikeOS is (modern) fun, but I would not run 24/7 on it ..
cheer up, December 12 will even beat millennium  date doom ..
