Curious to know how this possibly made it to the front of HN.
What is that true value? And was it accurate?
Does it come with a snooze button?

I just can't understand who in their right mind, and is even remotely concerned about the privacy of their personal information, would upload their own DNA to a business. An internet-based one at that. Lemmings, I tell ya.

Same here. I specifically remember staying home "sick" from school just so I could transfer those COMPUTE! programs from paper to screen and eventually to cassette tape! Still have the entire setup except for the 13" Montgomery Ward TV it was connected to. I owe my entire tech career to my parents buying me that little TI from Shopko in 1983.

Brought back frightening memories of running a 10BASE2 network on LANtastic. Any one bad connection and the whole network came down. So much fun to troubleshoot.

+1 Beyond Compare. It's been on my list of must installs for every new system I've set up for many years.
Re:Ask HN: What 1980s/90s-era shareware did you purchase? on Tuesday January 02, 2024 @09:59AM (#38842295)
I was a very long time user of TextPad as well. I just had to go look it up and am pleasantly surprised it's still being updated. Though, the copyright on their website still says 2020.
