PC-9801 could do 640×400 in 8 colors, and is supported by early Windows.

Oh no, you're right How do I unsee this

For the record, a text-mode SuperWriter is the default word processor for the Apricot - but its format is not well understood by modern tools, unfortunately.

The keyboard on the Apricot uses round capacitive foam pads under the keys. This means the keys had to be square, or they needed a mechanical thing like the space button on the pho…

That's what I've heard, too! But apparently there even was an effort to port Windows 2.11 to XEN, though I have no idea whether it was ever completed.

There are two now; one from GEM 1.2 and one from FreeGEM.

The model I have is exactly like this, with a handle and a clip. You can still get one! :)

Hi, the article's author here~ I just checked the Tandy 2000 Windows pre-installation - it has the drivers unpacked, which means you can just get the Slow Boot Windows 2.0, and put…

Thank you for sharing. Note it's a duplicate of https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45558371

Thank you! MGR (and other projects you shared on your home page) are very fun!

Not just "some", but whopping 23% of this test participants.

And it seems to be David C Norris, a software engineer from Microsoft: https://www.linkedin.com/in/davidcnorris/details/experience/ Here are more details about Bogus Software: http…

I have checked both, and while there are similarities, I think they both share a common ancestor - some physical Mahjongg tiles. This Windows Taipei 1 is written by " Bogus Softwar…

I suspect that Windows used monochrome mode to squeeze 78 characters per line, not because the colours were "useless". CGA graphics is tricky, but it can look at least as pretty as…

I was talking about the looks of the version 1. Technical side of things seems quite solid, and things have clearly improved by 2.x.

I think this is a bug with smooth scrolling of pixel perfect scaled images. I'm not quite sure though.

And not just Freecell. Here is a list of compatible programs; it includes Photoshop 4, Nero Burning ROM 4.0, Space Cadet Pinball, ICQ: http://stephan.win31.de/w32slist.htm#list The…

Imagine the backlash: "new Windows version requires a $300 video card and a $400 monitor to run". When Windows 95 finally dropped the support for EGA, many people were upset (inclu…

Thank you! I'll take a note :)

Amiga Workbench had a comically bad interface, though?
