Records and sketches in old notebooks (greetings from the 90s)


    Hello! More recently, I sorted out in the country and found a pair of notebooks, notebooks and leaflets with greetings from the glorious 90s. Fast forward to 96 years. So, I am a schoolboy, studying in the 8th grade. Houses proudly flaunts the PC “Search” . After work, he is neatly covered with a cloth. There MS-DOS 5.0 on a floppy disk along with debug.exe. Later, Norton Utilites appear with a beautiful interface, Norton Commander. Well, of course there are toys too.



    I don’t like any lessons at all, neither mathematics, nor physics, nor humanitarian studies. Both there and there are average grades of 3-4. Boring, I regret that we do not have computer science ... In literature, or some geography, I like to draw.
    Such a file manager, ver 1.0:


    And it’s kind of like a shell, such as DOS-Shell. In the picture, the settings menu and changing the date:


    Type “Explorer”:


    Graphic editor with a file save window:


    File manager, ver 2.0


    And this is a utility for copying diskettes:


    When you get bored with drawing, you can also program it “on a piece of paper”. First on BASIC:


    A little later on Pascal:



    Well, when we get home, we begin to bring this whole thing into reality. In the process, leaflets, sheets and scraps of paper are scattered around the table. No, I’m not going to drive football, I'm busy. Coding is in progress, don’t touch me, please, I’m not here at all, I’m a processor, I compile in my mind and see an error even before pressing the Compile button. I even generate opcodes in my mind, and I don’t need some sort of Hiew for disassembling. So I see everything, I am not here, I am all there.













    These were glorious times. Good luck to all!

    PS: Perhaps someone will ask what does the old iron have to do with it? My answer is the name of it (Genius ColorPage Vivid III v2). At first, it did not want to start at all, but after lubricating and replacing a pair of electrolytes, it somehow worked. Quality, of course, no, but as it is.
