Thoughts in My Mind while Wandering through On Off Digital World
When I consider something similar to an On Off Digital World I instantly recall the good ol’ days of personal computing, the golden age of the 1980s centered around the Commodore 64 and Commodore Amiga. Now, in fact, despite commanding a large share of the market, corporate missteps back at headquarters lead to the inevitable demise of Commodore and so the Amiga lost market share, practically overnight, to Apple Computer. Nevertheless, it’s a safe and true statement that the ’80s meant Commodore. Those were some good times, what with the medium still very new and many a smart programmer pushing against the technological envelope. Indeed, it wasn’t until the middle part of the decade that a title required more than a programmer or two or three! And yet, even with less than 64KB to work with – or precisely because of it – some of the most imaginative feats of programming excellence took place, such as a full-fledged graphical WYSIWYG OS!
