Airshack Posted February 3, 2022 Share Posted February 3, 2022 Nice memory lane regarding FestWest '92. How great that must have been getting 200+ TIers together for one event. How'd you manage to get approval to reprint the 4/A Foray articles? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparkdrummer Posted February 4, 2022 Author Share Posted February 4, 2022 As you can probably tell, I was pretty proud of our Fest. I got permission to reprint the 4A Foray column. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The appearance is reminiscent of those early Macs. It looks like it never really went anywhere - maybe because it's so closely tied to Clint Pulley's c99, which it sounds like was the (easiest? only?) way to write programs that could incorporate the GUI features and return to the shell. Maybe another factor working against it back in the day was that it requires more accesses of little disk files than the average TI floppy system (even with two disk drives) could have handled, once you add in programs that would run under it and their files. Although it sounds like the author had a RAMdisk in mind. And a joystick instead of a mouse was kind of a clunky approach. But it would be interesting to think about whether it could be updated or a similar shell environment could be written to make use of some of what we have now - Tipi, the Pi mouse, etc. If a program like this could be made into a cartridge binary, it might be made so it could avoid all the disk accesses that this one requires. And then as the article points out, people could write text editors and other utilities that would use the GUI environment. Or maybe that's too much trouble to go to for a relatively crude GUI, and it'd be better to look for an old Mac at a garage sale.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
