Ray, I’m not of that older generation myself, but this project is something I’d definitely endorse. Part of the problem, I think, is that a lot of these operating systems aren’t as interesting without applications to layer on top. Figuring out what would be worth configuring is a task in itself.
The more “interactive,” systems, like Tops-10/20, are perhaps interesting just because of the wildly divergent methods and commands they use. Unix and Linux have become pretty standard nowadays, and its fun to see how things were done on older machines. This is to say nothing of ITS, a system I wish were easier to get going. Good luck, Zack. > On May 31, 2016, at 9:09 AM, Ray Jewhurst <[email protected]> wrote: > > Greetings all > > I am a total computer history buff.
