Yeah, I'm like, why can't you find a 386 or 486 those aren't even that... Oh I guess they are...

I don't want to crawl down the rabbit hole of ancient hardware, but vintage software is so fascinating to me. I wish more of it was in less of a legal grey area. Or even open sourced. The code for so many good amiga products is probably lost forever. I'd love to see the source for vista pro, or the default amiga drawing software.

My buddies and I rented 4 PCs with network cards and somehow managed to get them all networked together to play Doom 2. Looking back I have no idea how we managed that. I'm sure they all had the right hardware to do everything but I strongly recall that they didn't work as needed "out of the box".

The moment when you realize you have been using a language longer than it's average user has been alive...

Quake C was formative for me. Good soundtrack too from Reznor.

Or since Counterstrike was initially released.
