My first computer was an eight-bit system running the CP/M operating system on an Intel 8080 processor, in about 1980. The system was some $900. I bought a Whitesmiths C compiler for it for about $300, and it came with the Wordstar text editor.

That’s reminiscent of the Prosciutto e Melone that my Italian wife has taught me to enjoy!
sfbing@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.world•The world reacts to Trump's sweeping tariffs: 'No basis in logic'English10·6 months agoSounds like you had better open a diaper factory in your house. Then you wouldn’t have to pay the tariff that you are charging yourself.

The rest of us should be, too.English74·8 months agoI find myself less concerned about the Palestinians than I was before the election.

sfbing@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.world•Just Stop Oil activists throw soup at Van Gogh’s Sunflowers after fellow protesters jailedEnglish103·1 year agoCool. But the goals are almost beside the point. This action makes people associate goals that I agree with, with being an asshole.
Unfortunately, that would effectively be a vote for Trump.
You shouldn’t say that to your Grandma or Grandpa. :)
