It is a beautiful afternoon here in Maui. I have curated a specific aesthetic in my office and we have arrived at the time of year where one of the silicon wafers lights up in the afternoon sunlight. It makes me happy to see it lit up with a full rainbow of colors.
Starting a fresh new profile, let's introduce me.
I'm Nicolas from north of France, I like old computers, I have a collection of #amiga, #C64, #amstrad, #atari. I also like #computerhistory and started to code emulators, I made a #teletype, #altair and #Intel8080 emulator, and also a #Z80 then a #trs80 emulator coded in #rust. Currently experimenting with #Zig, and #riscv64 assembly.
Made a new design for all retro computer connoisseurs

Hi everyone! I have come to find cool people on and around Medium, please say hi!
Lots of what I write is about #lisp #commonLisp #computerHistory (though it all is bleeding edge and was bleeding edge originally too).
I found formatting this article for Medium sooo hard. Any tips?
I'm also -> @screwtape@mastodon.sdf.org (main) @screwtape@communitymedia.video (interviews/shows)
@screwtape@toobnix.org (short lisp videos)
I am happy for us to be mutuals over there/s too.
Retoot 4 new friends please!

Something different with another old page of the Apple site 
It's incredible to me that Microsoft was dog fooding NT with the NT dev team in early-1991. First stage was when it was just a CLI without networking. Then graphics but no networking. Then all three. Looking forward it made sense since shipping to production was supposed to be mid-1992 but knowing it didn't get out the door until Q3 1993 it's impressive how raw a state it was in when they were in the "build the aircraft as we fly it" mode. #windows #history #ComputerHistory #RetroComputing

A few more photos emphasising the hands-on nature of the Centre for Computing History. Most of the computers, games consoles and arcade games that are on display are working, and set up for visitors to use. It's great.
The kid and I had a great time at the Centre for Computing History in Cambridge today. As I anticipated he had fun playing old games on the many computers, games consoles and arcade machines, but he was also surprisingly interested in writing 2 line BASIC programs on the BBC computers in the "80's classroom" room.

I can’t get enough of early PC developer stories. This FloppyDays podcast interview with Dan Bricklin of VisiCalc fame hit the spot. #history #ComputerHistory #RetroComputing

Apparently there is an internet mystery that maybe some of my #Seattle friends could shed some light on.
Before you watch and get your memory contaminated, does anyone near Seattle in 1996 remember a April Fool's prank where Microsoft employees made a fake product called Microsoft Coffee, snuck it into local stores, published a press release, and had a bunch of news outlets believing it was a real product?
Or is this a prank prank?
