re: #87 First As Tragedy, Then As Farce

I recently threw away a lot of computer-age equivalents of 8-tracks: the 100MB IOmega Zip disk.

They were probably chock-full of stuff from the ANSI BBS art and “demo scene” groups of the early 90s. Warez versions of PKZip and TheDraw. Possibly even bootleg copies of Sierra games like Leisure Suit Larry and SpaceQuest.

Sigh. They were somehow defiant in their uselessness, however.

Even DVDs are beginning to seem ludicrously obsolete at this point.

I found my OS/2 archives the other day including my original install CD’s for OS/2 Warp V4 & DeScribe word processor. I decided to keep them since I had paid good money for them and might someday set up a VM for old times sake. Run along side my PDP11, VAX & CDR emulators…

(don’t know if I should sigh or laugh. probably both ;)
