Form vs Function, all over again.

Work the function aspect until it is beyond reproach. Then look at form and tweak things until the neighbors don't complain.

Or move somewhere where there are no neighbors, and skip the second step.

History is still OK, it's already there, we have pictures and drawings, with circles and arrows.

HTML+CSS, as little JS as is possible if any at all. Notepad++

I have a (currently offline) site that uses REBOL+Vanilla for self-modification.

Why complicate your life any more than it needs?

It's not inflation, it's price gouging.

So you're proposing a grand conspiracy across almost every industry, every company in the country, where they all decided to start price gouging, all together, all at the same period in time. Prices going up isn't related to the state of the economy, no, it's all a grand conspiracy. Makes lots of sense to me ..

Read “Basic Economics” by Thomas Sowell if you want to understand how things actually work.

And they should always respect user focus. Something I got used to on the Amiga, but (Windows) is horrible at this. I'm constantly typing into the wrong window when focus changes in the middle of something. WTF?

Very true.

We could fix most of this by (1) allowing users to prevent particular programs from switching the context to a new window and (2) putting the UI (screen/kb/mouse) in real time on a second processor so what you type goes into the place you thought it was going.

I wanted to be an astronaut, or the next Jacques Cousteau, or a rockstar guitarist, or a race car driver. None of these things happened.

But I can play guitar pretty well. I work in software and IT. 63yo.

reminds me of the song "Processions" by Family

I mean if nobody work there would be no food to eat and no energy to power your house and car. I think we need people to work

I usually start out with, "Have you ever heard of SCSI?"

Nah, people can't memorise computer industry acronyms.

That hilarious reference to a defunct standard from decades ago is worth a quick explanation for those who've never heard of it: PCMCIA stands for Personal Computer Memory Card International Association, the group of companies that defined the standard. This acronym was difficult to say and remember, and was sometimes jokingly referred to as "People Can't Memorize Computer Industry Acronyms".

Thanks for noticing - I've always been very fond of that one. I had a Creative Labs PCMCIA Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS card for a laptop once, they were absolutely fantastic for the time.

Frilliant. You are having the fun so many people miss today. Good luck! I've done great stuff with DPaint and Pagestream. Also PageRender3D controlled by Arexx scripts is fantastic. I did a lot of work in CanDo, Helm, and a bunch of other dev tools as well.

Keep Amigas & Carry On.

Just to make that clear: I‘m not the author of this article. :)

"Asking which Amiga I like best is like asking which of your children is your favourite...I love them all."

Right with ya!
