There's always OS/2 Warp 4 :) I have an old ThinkPad that was running Warp 4, but it died before i could really get to grips with the OS. I've considered virtualizing it.

OK, @visiblink@lemmy.sdf.org twisted my arm LOL. Here'a link to my gemlog/phlog, The Backroad to Civilization, which I've committed to updating more than once every six months.

I will, once I’ve truly committed to writing more often. 😊

What is the first record you ever bought? in c/records

Deep Purple’s Machine Head, bought in 1978 (when I was 5). I liked Highway Star and begged my dad to buy the album for me.

I enjoyed the three episode 1996 OVA series of Voogie’s Angel. Wish I still had those VCDs…

I used SDF for pretty much everything for a while: usenet, email, shell, and hosted my gopher site here (until I deleted it a year or two ago). These days I'm mostly on SDF's Mastodon instance and (occasionally) Pixelfed.
