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!

@ballalloi @12ax7 un meme è l'equivalente psicologico di un gene, un'idea che si autopropaga, legandosi a stereotipi, luoghi comuni, tropos e topoi.
(Es. comunisti mangiabambini)
Quelle volgarmente chiamate “(internet) meme” dovrebbero piú propriamente chiamarsi image macros (esistono internet memes che NON sono image macros, come ad esempio «internet è solo una serie di tubi»)

@snow se anche tu hai uno zio che, da giovane, ha convintamente militato in Lotta Continua e ora vota Meloni facendo anche pubblici elogi di Pino Rauti e Julius Evola, ti abbraccio.
