Write Code Like It's 1986
1986 was the year I started college. My first computing experience was on a DEC Vax 780 via Freedom 100 terminals. Man were they crap.
Now you can relive that glory on the Mac by the extremely cool terminal application GLTerminal. It even mimics phosphor memory and screen curvature.
I love it!

You had lisp? We were stuck on Fortran ... PDP 11/780 all the way :-).
Sometimes I wonder where the old hardware went ... if someone somewhere has an old lab set up in his cellar or if it got exported to some exotic country (or just landed on the dump). Other than the backup tapes going crazy, the system never seemed to go down (or maybe that was just because our SysOp - Brian Reynolds :) - got it right?)
The other day I was cleaning out some old HW (we have 3 kids now - it's gotta go!) and finally got rid of my amber monochrome monitor. I really hated to part with it. There's something about old skool phosphor glow.
As recently as 3-4 years ago I'd written a little v-studio plugin to send selected debug output to my mono monitor just so I'd have an excuse to use it. Finally had to give it up (*sniff*)
