@WooShell Ooooh you're right about the raised eyebrow about "freely distributable". I hadn't noticed Sawyer's self declaration before. I might be wrong then: https://www.theregister.com/2024/08/06/wordstar_7_the_last_ever/
@WooShell His .zip comes with DOSBox-X, pre-configured for a Windows portable application execution, and 1000~ pages of scans from the WS manuals. I imagine that inflated it quite a bit. :)
#Wordstar is now freely distributable and Robert J. Sawyer has worked hard to create a .zip with both WS and DOSBox-X already configured for running after unzipping.
It comes configured for a Windows system with local C:/ drive. You need to put the WS folder in the Zip in your local C:/ root path, and then DB-X will auto-mount and run WS automatically.
Mac and Linux users will need their own DB-X and to edit the .conf for mounting to Unixy paths.
From 1992 to 1997, Apple shipped over 40 Macintosh models wearing a Performa badge. I'm writing about all of them on @512pixels during August.
Welcome to Performa Month!
#BREADBOX is the coolest Commodore classic computers emulation sim-suite! It's brilliantly skeuomorphic. Picked it up today and gave it a quick whirl: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uQtWXXYjBvM

@darth_hideout I think they meant 70 in in our RL TV years and I goofed. They said "spanning 7 different decades". I made the mistake of equating that with 70 years because I thought Dr Who started in the 50s but it was actually 1963. My bad. :D
Ok this made me cry. A celebration of 70 years of space family and friendships. *wipes a tear* I would have bawled outright if it was Doctor Who x Star Trek x Firefly. :D
