For those who don’t know the image source, it’s from Kung Fury, a short comedy (half hour) on youtube. Fully recommend for over the top parody of bad 80s action movies.

      I started working as a professional programmer in 1995. From the outset, I was pitching to clients how a GUI (thanks, Visual Basic 3!) would be so much easier for their employees to use than a command prompt. I find it very interesting how command prompts are still around 30 years later. I’m way more amazed by the continued existence of vinyl LPs, however.

      I’m not that old but old enough that if we wanted to play Keen or Secret Agent Sam or Cosmo we had to boot into MS-DOS mode and run it from a floppy drive. Don’t remember if it was Win 95 or 98.
