#MyFirstComputer - technically my dad's first computer, but let's not split hairs. The IBM Aptiva 2144, a 486 system which originally came with Windows 3.1. By the time I used it, it'd been upgraded to Windows 95.
Our original one is long gone, unfortunately - would love to get hold of another.

I don't believe in toxic workaholicism. Your best efforts are possible when your life is in balance. Sleep deprivation has diminishing returns and in the end does more harm than good. Does this make me a bad entrepreneur?

It's hard to wrap your mind around the things that FORTY FOUR BILLION DOLLARS could do. But he chose THIS.
@freemo
Thanks! I will contact you after next week. 🙂
@brandonb_phy
@freemo Yes, super shitty. First the lay-offs, then firing people for dissenting with him. And 2 days ago, the ultimatum.
Me, and what it seems to be thousands of other employees, "voluntarily" resigned, taking severance and not taking his bullshit.
So, now looking for a job. 🙂
@brandonb_phy
@brandonb_phy @freemo He asked us to be "hardcore" and prepare to work long hours.

Working on the next great American novel using the best writing tool the early 1980’s has to offer, AtariWriter. #atari
@Datassette_User @Dbug
Yes, it is fully compatible because it uses chips from a real STe, so it is one. The board is different, and with some improvements.
@mardonet I imagine it will be in the news soon.
This will be a day for the pages of history. #Twitter
High intensity drama is coming.
@peterdrake I like that! 
As an English-as-a-second-language speaker, and in the current environment, I have to remember that "getting laid off" and "getting laid" are two very different things.

My #Atari 400 and I have been together since right after Christmas 1981. I bought the 400 at Sears with a combination of paper route & Xmas money. People make fun of its keyboard, but to my 11 year old self having my own computer at home was magic. I’m glad we are still together.
