How many people here like old computer stuff? I personally love it, and try to use/download/acquire as much of it as possible. So far I've explored ed, dc, Gopher, and several old MS-DOS games from the late 80s and early 90s. Kind of a pathetic repertoire for someone who's really into this stuff, and I'd like to experience more of it. Maybe there's an Algol 58 compiler out there somewhere.
