Cishet white male. Offspring of immigrants. Free software and self-hosting advocate. Socialist. Anticapitalist. European. I acknowledge the incongruence of this list! Right now I'm enjoying retrocomputing projects on an eight-bit Atari 800 and 130XE, a sixteen-bit Atari 520STFM and a 32-bit 1996 IBM Thinkpad. I'm interested in operating systems, application and utility software, the claims made about the future we were promised with these machines, and the present we've ended up with.

@Foritus yes! I never had an MSX but I remember finding them intriguing at the time. I still do. They were popular in Europe, the Middle East and South America, if I remember correctly.
