David's Computer Blog

So I wanted to try out how much AI technology has advanced since ChatGPT 3.

It's been a while since I've reviewed and talked about Haiku.

My new Amiga A600GS from AmigaKit finally arrived!

Call for Submissions: Share Your Story, Written the Retro Way!

This type of retro-computing is going pretty far back in time.

Reviving the Classics: An Introduction to Commodore OS Vision 2 and the C64x I have already written a few articles about Commodore OS Vision v2, but thought I'd give it a more formal introduction here.

So back in 2014 I started coding in BlitzResearch's Monkey-X programming language.

BlitzMax is a strongly-typed, garbage-collected, open-source programming language with built-in support for advanced 2D graphics, sound, unicode and is ideally suited to making all kinds of apps and games.

I did a compile test of simple SDL code, which is listed at the end of this blog entry, to see what would happen.

I'm experimenting with trying to run the Commodore OS Vision 2 system on different computers.

Commodore OS Vision 2 in Hyper-V Apparently, I somehow missed the release of the new version of Commodore OS Vision!

First test for HaikuOS Beta 4 using NetPositive to compose this blog entry.

So in a previous article I mentioned installing OpenBSD into Hyper-V.

So I wanted to try out the new FreeBSD 13.1.

So in relation to me looking for old Word Processor applications, I started thinking and trying to determine the core reason or reasons that caused me to like old word processors.

I have configured and run Haiku in VirtualBox, but I was wanting to try running Haiku in Hyper-V.

Way back in the 1990s, I experienced IBM's OS/2 Warp 2.1 operating system.

Well, I got it to work.

So I had this idea of installing a legacy word processor application onto an old Operating System.

Sometime in the past I was able to install Icaros Hostbridge on Linux Mint 19.3.

I decided to try installing the current version of Linux Mint (v. 20.3) onto a Dell Latitude E5570 laptop.

Shortly after writing of my experiences with Amiga word processors, I found another Amiga word processor that was not included in the previous article.

Recently I have been experimenting with word processing programs under AmigaOS 3.

I've been wanting to test Haiku OS on an Intel Xeon processor for a while.

I recently tested two types of programs on Icaros 2.2.5/Aros.
