Nostalgia 2 for Doom 2 has been released: https://www.doomworld.com/forum/topic/140274-nostalgia-2-rc1-32-maps-doom-2-format-limit-removing/
"Nostalgia 2 is a set of 32 limit removing maps for Doom 2. Much like the original the focus is on modern map design slathered with a layer of old school paint, but now expanded on with the CC4 resource pack and new episode themes."

Google killing off their basic HTML version of Gmail due to basic HTML not including 'full feature functionality' seems like code for 'we don't make ad revenue off this version'.

We relied on the basic HTML version while doing arctic fieldwork in 2017 using low bandwidth satellite internet. Gone were extraneous graphics and junk ads getting served - just mail. It's also no longer possible to auto sort messages in the full version without enabling tracking to serve ads.

I you wanted some tasty modern recreation fonts of the olden days of Apple, here's a chart with the old name on the left and its modern counterpart on the right (they are searchable and all free)

You thought that Office 97 on 55 floppy disks was insane? How about an Italian encyclopedia that comes on 115 disks in a suitcase? Meet Multiglobo!

Everything..

Anyway the single moment of greatest joy I have experienced this summer was when I discovered the Atari 2600 core for the Analogue Pocket will happily open *any* file, such as ROMs for other systems, and attempt to execute it on the assumption it is an Atari 2600 ROM, invariably leading to a 200-ms-to-3-second loop of bizarre blocking pixel noise and glitch sounds

This is much deeper than your typical bumper sticker.

At the start of the 1990s, computers were gaining popularity but still relatively expensive. This put schools in a tough spot, who wanted to expose kids to technology — so a couple of Apple engineers came up with a clever alternative. New video!

Here's a quick look at the Memorex VIS, which stood for "video information system" and not "very impossible to sell." It was merely nearly impossible to sell. It had next to no games in a sea of edutainment software. The wireless controller is as bad as you might imagine.

As a youngster around 1990 I started working on the first Dutch TV show that was completely created using a computer. An Amiga to be specific.

The show was called Mannetje & Mannetje, and featured a low-resolution mix of digitized photographs and drawn elements.

The magenta color was used for keying, using a Genlock device to record the footage to analog storage for broadcasting.
