Why HN links it
One HN commenter links a post on this blog, a 2015 piece about John Carmack's Doom Reddit comments, in a thread on QBasic. The blog is otherwise not discussed.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 1 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.
From hacks and mods to unearthed historical arcana to mainstream news spottings, Ken Gagne reflects on Steve Wozniak\'s most popular 8-bit computer.
