gonna log off because meta posts give me too much dopamine for virtually no actual content, but I guess it's a good time for a #reintroduction #introduction
name is franklint, early-30s nb from the southeast US
I don't talk about them much but I like to collect old (80s-90s) independent comic books and older sci-fi books. I'm a slow reader but I try to keep an open mind
I collected vintage computers & video game consoles and when i have the time I boot them up
I don't talk about any of those things very much. I want people to feel comfortable. I want people to be their freaky lil self
follow requests are always welcome but if I don't know who you are then you need to PM me a little bit aboput yourself

#introductions time!
My name is Andrew and I run https://68kmentat.com
I'm interested in #retrocomputing and #retrogaming, particularly #Sega consoles, #Amiga computers, 8-bits, and Tandy-Radioshack computers.
I try to learn electronics and programming in my free time, but those projects move very slowly.
#AMA !

Windows 3 (1990) introduced Solitaire. Written by Wes Cherry as a Microsoft intern during 1988, the Windows team felt it would be a good inclusion to familiarise new users with the mouse. It featured card deck designs by Susan Kare. Learn more @ https://youtu.be/NBPibqYL2KQ! 🖱️🃏👀 #DailyWindowsFact #Microsoft #Windows #Solitaire #Windows3

I'm also at the point where I appreciate the super 90s looking websites of my professors… just the information (mostly text) and loads quickly on any device
Also… when was the last time anybody else actually used <hr>
