I think NTFS and SSD disks.

I like the comment on the site about blockchains replacing HTML links (from 4 years ago).

I have all 4 volumes of Input.

I love how the Action Replay FLOPPY disk for Amiga 1200 loads into the high 1MB RAM space. No need for hardware. (note: Amiga 1200 has 2MB RAM by default).

I once played Ultima 6 from a RAM disk on an ST with 4MB RAM. Game install from 'Hard disk' to RAM disk - it didn't realise. And then I used bigger size floppy disks (940KB I think) and a fast copy utility to get those 3 disks to start the game and when done, save the game and save it all off to 3 floppies. It was totally fast!

Or Paul Allen in Accidental Zillionaire.

Ted actually collaborated with Adams on Hyperland TV show.

Couple of anecdotes.

I got in touch with American Steve Jackson for permission to scan his game novel 'Stonekeep'. He didn't give permission.

Second, I got a Warlock of Firetop Mountain book off Ebay which was dedicated by Steve Jackson to a scottish landlady 'The best guesthouse in ---'. I got in touch with Steve about the book and he remembered it. I printed out the email to go in my rare WOFM book.

Finally, I was going to make an animated film of Rings of Kether but couldn't get the money to make it.

Wow I found transcripts for Infocom games here (ClubFloyd) ! I've been looking for this for ages, thanks!

I used a VGA monitor with my Amiga 1200 (with an adapter). It was not flickery at all and was full resolution.

I just asked ChatGPT that and it seemed to come up with a good answer.

Didn't Peter Norvig used to be director of search quality? And now Head of research? Maybe they should bring him back to increase that search quality.

On Windows, A9T9 does a great job of OCR'ing scanned JPEG files (and any JPEG file). It's also free.

I scanned about 100 A4 documents in just a couple of minutes.

I got £2000 for reverse engineering Psion 5 Word and Sheet file formats (for a Psion based company) in 1998. I tried to get a job with the same company but they didn't want me, which is very sad.
