Thank you for the Retro Computing Series this Week

Thank you Liam for the retro computing OS series. Some of it is almost an "alternate universe" kind of thing. What if Apple choose BeOS and not NEXT in 1997? Now the new version of Haiku is almost ready. Same with OS/2 and Arca Noae. Imagine in 1985 a free version of DOS. What would Microsoft have said and done? Good to see these "old technologies" being updated and being able to meet the developers. It would be interesting to know about some of the developers of some of the older open source products such as SeaMonkey and maybe OpenOffice are doing and what there plans for teh future are. Very interesting reading about things I remember from the 1980s and 1990s and how they still continue but at a slower base and often by a dedicated small team of developers.
