Old Computer Challenge, (10 50 19 16 7 2025 2 NIL -12), er... July 16, 7 50 pm and ten seconds in
UTC-12 (not summer), 2025 which is a Wednesday.

( gopher://occ.deadnet.se/ )

I'm just writing this in xemacs at the moment. I was surprised and pleased to hear that on the 500
hats of LambdaCalculus episode today ( see https://gamerplus.org/@screwlisp/114859955237187501 w/
peertube download link ) that when they first installed emacs, they had received the prompt - GNU or
xemacs emacs? And they hit the xemacs button, and whence were an xemacs user.

On the other hand, another listener pointed out that jwz is definitely not actually using xemacs
these days. On the other other hand, maybe if someone tells jwz about the 2025 xemacs release. yduJ
made me repeat "lucid emacs" "as in lucid LISP ?" quite a few times to make sure I was really saying
lucid, not just describing emacs as being lucid or something.

The episode was really good. It turns out LambdaCalculus' first linux was slakware (installed from
VERY MANY floppies), and mdhughes.tech (or now, gopher://cyberhole.online ) talked about the 6 week
lead time on ordering doom's full version floppies after enjoying the shareware version.

So quite old computery if I do say.

You know, I cannot figure out how I am meant to send something to the inferior-lisp and get it
evaluated. (software-version) => "7.7" well a keyboard macro does it basically, anyway.

My official anonymous gopherden phorum thread is gopher://gopher.someodd.zip/1/phorum/43/ everyone
who is cross with me phor not gophering all the time phorever.

Alright I just didn't want to leave you hanging on the rapidly dwindling remaining days of old
computer challenge 2025.

PS

OH I think that there are a lot of phloggers who are doing old computer challenge possibly not on
occ.deadnet.se. I checked gopher://i-logout.cz/1/bongusta and there were more, but it might just have
been that those gophers were talking about old computer stuff coincidentally to old computer
challenge happening.
