The internet is amazing! The way it allows people to connect, help each other and sometimes also reconnect is heartwarming.

If you have a PayPal account, I will gladly contribute to your microscope fund!

Thank you again, and happy end of year!

zxmth here. I'm glad to finally know that 0x33 was arbitrary :P I'm also glad that old thread on Level1 has sparked this conversation and connection around a shared Linux challenge. Thanks fabiensanglard and dkozel! Happy hot-plugging to you both!

Thanks Fabien!

Also I love all your retro work. I have a NeXTStation Turbo Color that's my retro pride and joy. Have you seen or been involved in any of the Demoscene activities? It's amazing the graphics that people are able to squeeze and abuse out of older hardware.

Off topic, but folks might enjoy Poems for Bugs, a talk where Linus Åkesson talks about cycle accurate coding to exploit GPU bugs in the C64. https://www.linusakesson.net/programming/poems-for-bugs/inde...

This has got to be one of the greatest exchanges on the internet, ever! Kudos to you both! And thanks to HN for connecting all of us.
