I bought my first Apricot PC about three years ago, when I realised I wanted an 8086-based computer. At the time, I knew nothing about it and simply bought it because it looked rad and the price was low. I had no idea that it was not IBM PC-compatible, and that there were very few programs available for it.
I have been on a quest to get a modern-ish word processor and spreadsheet program for it ever since. Which eventually made me "port" Windows 2 on it. In this post, I share the story of the port. Many photos inside!

@stefano @me Yet, it is a niche category, I know that the material they were trained upon does not necessarily include a large collection of cryptographic documents. I should have a look of some specifically trained model exist, for my enjoyment 🙂
