    Yes! Just started reading the table of contents, and already I'm feeling that joy of old-school creative computing. Revival of the culture of personal computers and programming as a technology of liberation. A better future is possible and the power is in our hands.

      I've never heard of this. It's a pity the article doesn't go into details.

      I feel like this tweet suggests that the PDF is a polyglot or an embedded second PDF.

        Thank you. I love the wallpapers of Paged Out and always set it as my default wallpaper on MacOS.

          I love Paged Out -- it's basically the only modern equivalent to 1980s BYTE or Dr. Dobbs Journal today.
