Remote work is a good replacement for commuting.

> it's Zoom

I heard something like that about the Concorde at the Air and Space Museum. What killed it was not fuel costs, but cheaper long-distance phone calls and fax machines.

But if a country takes the Chinese approach and pushed inexpensive rail as a way to open new economic opportunities, the idea of flying as your daily commute moves from ridiculous to feasible (if you replace the airplane with a train).

We need better emulators to preserve that. I’ve never experienced DGUX from up close.

He was right, then he was wrong, then right again. He’s currently wrong.

The non-standard floppy format was a huge annoyance for users. While the higher density formats were cool, the hardware could operate on PC-compatible format, but the OS wouldn’t support it.

ROM BIOS compatibility would have been nice, but it could be implemented at the custom MS-DOS version and run from RAM, but I’m not sure there were clean room implementations back at that point.

I confess I have a soft spot for these machines - the road not taken is always tempting to explore. Sadly, it didn't do well on the market, even less in Europe, so there are very few working machines around me and even fewer floating around on eBay. :-(
