What was the release price / MSRP of the DEC VT100 in 1978?
#terminal #terminals #DEC #VT100
The most I can find is $1550 but that was in 1980.

I've used vim for decades. vi before that
vim is my code editor of choice. writing tool of choice. config tweaker. UI mockup tool. and on and on...
my latest game under dev (Slartboz, in Golang) is written 100% using vim. and Slartboz itself is a curses-based program which runs in a Unixy terminal & shell. like vim
few perfectly good & truly wonderful things in our world. vim is among them

This game is an accurate representation of how I’d survive if you dropped me in the middle of nowhere.
Where it diverges. however, is when I begin to enjoy trying to find my way around.

I took my first uni #CS course as a night class while I was in high school. We used #DECWriter #printer #terminals connected to an ancient #VAX - the terminals were laughably out-of-date even at that time (mid-#80s).
They could only print 30 chars/s, so they topped out at 300 baud.
Good riddance to line editors!

Slartboz
is a game, so meant to be Fun
and Funny. (well, it tries to be funny)
so expect:
* satire
* parody
* mockery
* farce
* pranks & pratfalls
* in-jokes
* hip/dank memes
* puns
* alliteration
* rhyme & meter play
* homonyms
* allusion & innuendo
* Dad Jokes
* absurdity
* tangents & asides -- sometimes quite fractally & to a ridiculous degree

I gave an update today on the computer game I'm making. (UPTHREAD from this toot!)
so wanted to use this toot to add content tags so the progress news & the game itself is more findable

we lost an electronics legend in June this year. Don Lancaster passed away. This is a good video that covers some of his work, including the #TVTypewriter. https://youtu.be/GiI2ayNVDQg

The original article appeared in 1973 and an issue of radio electronics.

if you put a space in a filename I swear I will hunt you down and...
lets just say I have a very *specific* set of oldskool UNIX skills
I will not do it fast, all at once. you will not enjoy it. it might involve vim -- or if you're incredibly unlucky: even emacs
#terminals #shells #workflow #programming #cli #unix
much of my work session time is spent with my hand's fingertips hovering over H,J,K,L
