@sumenrai79 Just one?

[Advent of Computing @adventofcomp]

This episode we look at BEFLIX, an early system for digital animation. It has everything: text collages, FORTRAN, assembly language, even physical film and magic tubes! https://t.co/thLXrkRSlu

[Advent of Computing @adventofcomp]

So I guess this leads to two bigger questions:
1 - Have any SC4020 taped been preserved?
2 - Has the code for SC's PLOT library been preserved?

Does anyone know?

[Advent of Computing @adventofcomp]

I mentioned the possibility of someone writing an SC4020 emulator in this latest episode. Well, here are the docs for the beast. I still think it would be a relatively easy project.

@jpwarren Congestion is so bad, why would we bother?

[time to go @JohnKennedyEsq]

What's your favorite programming language that could be considered #retrocomputing ?

Pascal? BASIC? Forth? Logo? Lisp?

And more importantly, why?
