The fin de siecle HN is currently in is apparently some GenX midlife crisis phase where we're so mad about ecmascript that we vote up any rando retrocomputing article which gets posted. Like we have to remind ourselves that we loved this shit back in the day.

But I got all this knowledge from reading PC Magazine, Mac World, etc, but mostly from the tabloid trade weeklies PC Week, Computer World, Mac Week. This old PC/Mac stuff was never really properly put on the web. Yes, its hard to read nowadays in some viewer. But the ads are much more attractive.

(Just for the record, I like making stuff with ecmascript.)
