paulrickards<p>The original circular HP pen plotter organizer boxes have foam dividers for the pens. Now the foam is turning to goo. I created a new insert to replace the foam and hold 40 pen plotter pens.

Harry Sintonen<p>Recently I found a 35 year old bug from <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/AmigaOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AmigaOS</span></a> - in certain situations it releases a FileLock that is still in use, resulting in use after free condition. The effects range from "nothing" to complete system lockup, depending on your luck. I believe this bug was introduced in Kickstart 2.0 (36.x), released in 1990.</p><p><a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/amiga" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>amiga</span></a> <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/retrocomputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>retrocomputing</span></a></p>

Karsten Schmidt<p>Memoirs of the CP/M creator released:</p><p>“Our father, Gary Kildall, was one of the founders of the personal computer industry, but you probably don’t know his name. Those who have heard of him may recall the myth that he ‘missed’ the opportunity to become Bill Gates by going flying instead of meeting with IBM. Unfortunately, this tall tale paints Gary as a ‘could-have-been,’ ignores his deep contributions, and overshadows his role as an inventor of key technologies that define how computer platforms run today.</p><p>Gary viewed computers as learning tools rather than profit engines. His career choices reflect a different definition of success, where innovation means sharing ideas, letting passion drive your work and making source code available for others to build upon. His work ethic during the 1970s resembles that of the open-source community today."</p><p><a href="https://computerhistory.org/blog/in-his-own-words-gary-kildall/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">computerhistory.org/blog/in-hi</span><span class="invisible">s-own-words-gary-kildall/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://mastodon.thi.ng/tags/ComputerHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ComputerHistory</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.thi.ng/tags/CPM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CPM</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.thi.ng/tags/PersonalComputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PersonalComputing</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.thi.ng/tags/RetroComputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RetroComputing</span></a></p>

Mx.
