A guy walks into a bar and orders two hurricanes and a corona. Bartender
says "That'll be $20.20".
That joike pretty much sums up 2020. Thankfully, I got my dad to leave
Beaumont for the landfall of Hurricane Laura. More thankfully, Beaumont
did not get hit by the hurricane in a significant way. The hurricane's
path shifted to the east enough that a lot of damage was averted. Prayers
go out to those who did not find safety, those that are dealing with
property damage or injury and the first responders.
I like trying out different retro ways to do things. I never worked with
Sun's Virtualbox VM before but now I have ticked that box. I installed
Windows 95 and I am telneting into SDF from my Windows 95 installation in
Virtual box. I was prompted to try this by seeing a Toshiba Libretto for
sale in my area. I had one of those for a brief period. When I tore my
achilles tendon and was on crutches for 3 months, the software vendor that
serviced the firm I worked for loaned me his Toshiba Libretto. I loved
that tiny machine and I always wished I could have kept using it.
Of course, a Windows 95 machine today doesn't have the same usefulness
that it had in 1997. Correction, it has exactly the same usefulness as it
had in 1997. Still, I am tempted to buy and tempted to relive some
Windows 95 and DOS goodness.
Hope you are safe and well and hurricane free.
