Not quite the same, but I used to use DESQview back in the day. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DESQview

Was a very cool product to bring multi-tasking into the DOS world.


What is the resolution? (Surely this should be part of the FAQ.)


Sure hope 2600 finds a new means of distribution. It was super convenient going to my Kindle and was a no-brainer to subscribe.


what will happen to the old 2600 magazines? I have been a subscriber since 2015. sad to see this going away



I've been using Jets for a small project, and it's mostly been great. Coming from a Rails background, it was a very quick way to get a bunch of stuff running without any ongoing costs or babysitting. The documentation is pretty good, though there has been a few times where I've gotten a little stuck and have had to dig through the source to figure it out. Overall, I'm grateful for its existence.

Ultimately though I don't think I'd use it beyond a proof of concept or without some sort of clear idea for how it will sustain itself.

I doubt this will have that much of an impact on preventing it. Foreign investors will set up shell companies, get local realtors to help/hold title, etc. It's a cat and mouse game, and the government is rarely the cat.

OMG, thank you.


My first modem was a 300 baud Hayes modem that was given to me. I used it on my Atari 1040 STE. It was ... slow. The next bump was to 1200 baud, and that definitely made things a bit more bearable. A new family computer came with an internal 2400 baud, and then eventually I got my own USRobotics 14.4k. It was akin to getting on the highway after being stuck on rural roads with a low speed limit. I still miss those connect tones (14.4k being my all-time favourite.) I still have a USRobotics 56k vEverything modem.


Phew! I'm not sure about Rogers and Bell, but Telus doesn't seem to grasp what the "e" stands for in eSIM. You have to go to a store and buy a physical card with the eSIM QR code printed on it. Instant online-delivery? Naw, that's too hard. (I opted for an eSIM with my iPad Pro.)


Mine seems to be trying to get a lock on at least three satellites before finding the ideal spot.


Lol. So true ...
