DesertFOX<p>After 30 years, I guess it's finally time for me to accept Windows 95 into the ranks of "retro" operating systems. I just added a new 86Box VM... A decent 80486DX4 with 100MHz, 16MB RAM and 1.2GB HDD should be more than enough to start with.</p><p>This makes me feel a bit old... 😉 </p><p><a href="https://techhub.social/tags/Win95" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Win95</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/Windows95" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Windows95</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/MSDOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MSDOS</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/RetroComputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RetroComputing</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/Microsoft" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Microsoft</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/RetroGaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RetroGaming</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/Anniversary" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Anniversary</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/Oldschool" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Oldschool</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/Retro" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Retro</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/90s" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>90s</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/90er" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>90er</span></a></p>

Leaded Solder<p>New blog post! 80s Sony wasn't always an unstoppable, gleaming cyberpunk megacorp. Sometimes they just wanted to sit down and spend an unfathomable amount of Bubble money making their own proprietary 8-bit computer from scratch. Speaking of scratches, this one looks like it was dragged behind a truck for a bit.

Wolfgang Stief<p>Ich kaufe viele Alteisenbücher (zwangsweise) antiquarisch. Häufig bekommt man da ehemalige Bibliotheksexemplare, öfter auch mal Bücher mit Widmung (immer zufällig, darauf lege ich keinen Wert). Ich habe sogar welche mit einer Widmung des Autors bzw. der Autorin. Bisher genau einmal in meinem Alteisenregal habe ich ein offenbar verschenktes Buch mitsamt zugehörigem Dankesschreiben (nebst Rechtschreibfehlern). <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/vintagecomputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>vintagecomputing</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/retrocomputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>retrocomputing</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/datageneral" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>datageneral</span></a></p>
