I love how this gets rediscovered by people every few years :)
I still have a floppy set somewhere. I loved it. I ran it in a 486 IBM all in one I had with a compatible NIC for a long time as a conversation piece and guest light surfing machine. Amazing how well it ran up till fairly recently when standards outstripped its browser too much
I was there at the time. I just amuse myself digging up obscure, mostly-forgotten languages and OSes and posting them on HN to blow the kids' minds. :-D
Doing the Lord’s Work lol.
I need to rebuild my Ccmp collection. I ended up selling or giving it all away due to having to move. sniff
I ran a NeXTstation Turbo Color as my daily driver up till around 2010. Me and some friends ported over newer line and what not for openstep 4.2.
33mhz 040 with 128mb of 60ns EDO RAM, SCSI HDD. Amazing what you could do with adequate performance on that.
Also ran a BeOS r5 system with massive amounts of hacks and updates for way longer than was really reasonable lol
Impressed
I still have the Pentium box I used to run it on. Was that really 20+ years ago? How did that happen... I should boot it up and see how well frogfind.com works.
