I am a bit old school myself, so I am very familiar with the technology you mentioned. I am still a bit confused, and please forgive my English, but are you saying that the population has abandoned the existing open source and easily available commodity hardware available in abundance today in favor of vintage hardware? I find this interesting because most of said hardware has limited shelf life for many reasons, corosion from exposure, unavailability of SDK applications and said references and the technical limitations of trying to stuff anything like a modern ip or radio modulation network stack into the memory of something like a C64,ZX, would require the utmost skill that frankly is not available on the open market today, with the exception of a few tinkerers. John was very specific about the computer state of the art in your time, and it does not match. How do you account for the discrepancy? |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 64222659 Where do you live in our time? That’s the thing about progress; all the word means is “continued movement in the same direction.” If the direction was a bad idea to start with, or if it’s passed the point at which it still made sense, continuing to trudge blindly onward into the gathering dark may not be the best idea in the world.

Keep this post in the back of your mind, give it due diligence, but make a note. I know good enough why your answer makes good sense and in these days you can see how linux in general advances more in a broader way unlike in the past which is a very good thing in the future. OS/2 1.1 old and slow, but its sturdy and works. But that's the year 2015 for you, see the maths and not much more. good luck. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 64222659 Ps: I am near ish London for training, soon to go to Hillsborough county near Tampa. Can i try to make sense of it for me? Why this sudden change with the use of computers. It makes me think that all the other devices aren't usable "very suddenly". Not that we don't want to use these, but because we can't. But Titor asked us to scan every literature we could to preserve our nostalgic past. Using OS/2 1.1 doesn't make much sense to me, not at all unless i overlook something. My question would be if cloud server like google drive, mega would be a good place to store it for the meantime. I'm trying to do this already as much as i can but i think it's still too easy for me to overlook things or look into totally wrong directions. But thanks, i know this could really help me. I wish you good luck too with what you are trying to do. Last Edited by x4ma on 10/18/2014 12:03 PM |

I have a few questions to ask you if your not a complete fucking lunatic with internet access. 1.Has the IBM Model 5100 been found yet, and if not are you close to finding it? 2. What is the health system like? has there been a pandemic due to ebola? 3.Why has there not been anything even remotely close to a "war" as said by John in his early 2000's yet? 4.How many "Soldiers" like John are on a mission to find the IBM 5100? 5.IF UNIX needs to be recoded, why with the 5100, is this because this "War" has ceased the progress of 64-bit progress of UNIX? I have more questions to ask but cannot think of any, please keep this thread because i will be asking as much as i can think of in the next few days. I would also like some sort of photo proof or what is going to happen in the next month or so of something important that is going to happen |
