Another addition would be Rudy Rucker's Ware Tetralogy.
Re:MSX History: The Platform Microsoft Forgot on Tuesday April 02, 2019 @04:52AM (#19552202)
For me here in Sweden, it was a Spectravideo 728. Truly the reason I got into computers. It never was a big platform here so never saw many big games. And a couple of years later I switched to an Amiga.

There are quite a few emulators available:

- fMSX is multiplatform: https://fms.komkon.org/fMSX/

- RuMSX: http://www.lexlechz.at/en/software/RuMSX.html

It's been a few years since I used any of them so can't vouch for quality.

And here is an image of what it looked like before: https://www.alamy.com/stock-photo-genoa-liguria-polcevera-mo...
The "NASA technician" in the second to last image appears to be airbrushing a large scale version, does anyone know if there are more pictures of this somewhere?

Exactly. Even the lowest offer is more than twice my pay, after 10+ years of experience in Sweden.

Interesting! I've been using Launchy for years, mostly out of old habit. I'll certainly try Wox!
Re:Cortana is really bad on Wednesday November 22, 2017 @03:19PM (#15760216)
I use a nice little utility called Launchy[0]. It is invoked by Alt-Space (or whatever shortcut you like), is lightning fast and finds the right application 99% of the time. Based on your problems, I think it could be worth checking out.
