oh it might be this one? youtu.be/81qCH_JxAfw?t=1416

i was lucky enough to manage to get an email through to Cheifet back in 2020, thanking him for Computer Chronicles and, in jest, hoping that John Dvorak had finished putting back together that PS/2 he took apart by now.

he remarked on a tidbit that he mentioned in other interviews, about a demo by Peter Norton of UnErase that went badly on stage, sadly i reckon that must've happened on an episode prior to Computer Chronicles' syndication and i couldn't find any traces of it

people who don't know me are way too quick to demonize and proselytise about the dangers of "putting a windows xp computer on the internet"

i've been kicked out of so many communities for hearsay of things i either genuinely didn't do or was never given a chance to know about to even reflect upon and that probably explains why i'm so scared of joining anyone else's community rather than try and make everything from scratch myself

(negative, do not like)

"you need more than a dual core and 4gb of ram to use a modern browser these days"

all rise for the national anthem (hymn to aurora by horace wimp starts playing)

@nezumi do you hang out anywhere? i feel like i need spaces to hang out with people that aren't social media

you know it's going to be a good website when the url ends in :8000/

@terinjokes i find that it's difficult to find much up to date information about these small recreational browser builds :) incidentally i'm using it on a Pentium 4 laptop right now

every time someone puts modern linux on an older computer without full hardware support unlike the OS contemporary to it an angel loses its wings
