I completely understand why things are going the way they are as our computing environment has become ever more hostile. But I am very nostalgic for the time where I would power up a Vic-20 and within seconds be able to get to work.

Teaching my daughter to program on a modern computer, we spend more time bootstrapping and in process, than we do in actual development.

care to elaborate a bit? what did you understand?

i just can't get my head around this idea that most non-mobile OSes have become such hostile environments...

yes, the population at large only uses their phones and tablets and doesn't care much. but they would be left without any entertainment if it wasn't for those of us who still need decent non-mobile environments.
