VGA, 640 x 480- pixels was the common screen resolution at the time. How sharp can a Serif font look in that case?

Used WFWG, and other op sys at the time. OS/2 was much better, but like Betamax, it lost the battle.

@moonman

Great work, thanks for the image.

@Ox Thank you for being there in a time of need, at personal risk, everyday, Ox.

It means a lot. Sincere thank you.

@Lyudmila Magnífica foto.

Y recuerda la lucha desigual, el proprio episódio de David cuentra al gigante Golias, ahora personificado en el Estado Sionista.

Que no vé mucha censura por tantos atos de repressión al pueblo Palestino, veramente una lástima.

Gracias, Lyudmilla.

Hoy se cumplen 72 años del Nakba, la catástrofe del pueblo palestino. 72 años de exterminio, 72 de barbarie, 72 años de aislamiento, 72 años de silencio.

Corporate Networks are unwieldly morons.

Not like poor Beast, a lovely Cat whose account gets the Rough Treatment that ABUSERS and such (DJT) Don't GET.

Create an Account on Mastodon, Beast -- there are many Feline lovers there too.

TWO shiny, lovely in one house?

Meet Persephone (with laptop) and Pixel (on the floor, SocialDistancing).

These are Persephone (near the notebook) and Pixel. Persephone is the sweet one, always looking for space on your lap. Pixel is hyper, always playing and playfighting. We say that he is a little panther. 🐘Gargron@mastodon.social

@LittleWytch Oh, I see, you want a different type of activity.

Find some good eBooks? Archive.org put a huge Emergency Library of modern books, still under copyright, available as scanned pages ebooks.

@PeanceAfterMath Elegant Woman pic might get you unwanted attention, of the wrong type of guy, so a good move.

Welcome to Qoto, Peance.

@Phaedrus You are welcome, and I do consider your contributions here at Qoto very valuable, not a problem.

I should mention that I am not in the US, not a citizen, but Obama appeared as a friend to most countries, in the surface anyways (while the agencies intercepted Mrs. Merkel's personal phone, a Chancellor of an Allied power).

He disappointed many of us, tired of incompetence in the Bush II years, leading to the crisis in 2007-8.

Obama really impressed me when I first saw and heard him speak, on the Dem convention in 2004. Outstanding.

But he was hindered by internal factors (like you have mentioned) and later by Rep obstruction - which only led to slower recovery, longer unemployment and people suffering.

The same jerks now are OK with running a 1 Trillion USD yearly Deficit -- and this was Before the pandemic came, which led to all gates of Fed slushing open.

Dual standard, they are despicable. The dual party system there is not representative and needs radical change, a difficult thing since there are entrenched interests which will vigorously oppose any changes.

@freemo Why did I choose to use the "shady" word in that sentence?

Because it was an easy way out of a megalomaniacal business venture, with no chance of success given the existing competition in the same location, the economical climate, etc.

Plus, Gambling. Wish we would have more of the Puritan values in that sense.

DJT opened too many fronts, he didn't have a business plan or skills to keep these as going concerns, the man is an embarrassment as a business exec. He is Marketing, Bluster and Law Suits.

He titled himself "King of Debt' at the time.

The Banks lost, by inheriting his failed ventures. He even wrote off some stuff on personal income taxes in those years, millions of dollars worth.

I wouldn't condemn a small business man, who falls to difficult times or unexepected conditions. Even administrators of larger enterprises. But this is all together different.

@freemo The bankruptcies, mutiple times, were shaddy business decisions -- to stiff the lenders, the Banks who fronted his ambitious plans, which fell apart.

Hundreds of millions of dollars of company loans went unpaid. His personal assets were not touched, lawyers always circled this guy since he courts trouble everywhere.

He's got a personal fortune, good part of which was inherited from his father; and transferred to successors without paying the real amounts of taxes for the amounts involved (the NY Times did a tremendous forensic accounting exposé on this; it's possible NY State might take some action once DJT leaves the white house)
