[04:28] schestowitz[04:28] schestowitzIll admit, I use retrocomputers in exceeding boring ways. Everyone I watch and read restores these machines as a means to play games, and its kind of assumed everyone does. I mostly use them to tinker and explore how legacy word processors, spreadsheets, databases, and Pascal environments worked (and multimedia CD-ROMs, in the case of my old PCs).

[08:30] schestowitz[08:30] schestowitzWorried about the geopolitical consequences, and obsessed with controlling information about its activities, the CIA came up with a novel way to keep the mission secret without telling an all-out lie. The agency decided it would refuse to confirm or deny whether records about the Glomar Explorers mission existed, despite the mounting public evidence that they did. And so the Glomar response wa [08:30] schestowitz s born. And, in the case of the Glomar Explorer, it worked: Historians claim many documents remain hidden to this day.
