KnightOS was an interesting operating system

When I was in high school, I always wanted to build a better OS for the TI-84, but I did not have the skills or attention span to do it on my own. When KnightOS came along, I got involved and was able to take on individual features or issues as bite size chunks. I was able to make real contributions to a project that resonated with me on a fundamental level. In the process, I learned z80 assembly, how OSs work, but also most importantly how to contribute to a real open source project.

Thanks, Drew.

Hey, I remember you :) thanks for all of your help back in the day. I was just thinking to myself earlier that your improvements to the file manager added a lot of much needed polish.
