OMG... The other relic I couldn't recall was a Sinclair. I remember the little keyboard with the covered tactile keys and thinking how cool. We used a black and white TV with UHF and VHF dials on them I believe. 😂

Answer 11

This conversation reminds me of the first season in Halt and Catch Fire where the competitive edge was in writing a better BIOS in the early 80s. If you haven't seen this, I highly recommend it.

Answer 12

LOL... I wish I still had my relics from when I was a kid. I had a TRS-80, Commodore 64, and one other I can't recall. Good stuff. 🤓

Answer 16

LOL... I guess someone should attempt to answer the actual question.

Alas... I must admit I am not a system developer. I've never had much interest in working close to the hardware or kernel. I would definitely be classified as a software / application developer.

Answer 17

That does sound interesting.
