Hi everyone,
I am a fan of vintage computer hardware & software. I wonder, does anyone here perhaps use vintage hardware and/or software to create their works? (I could define vintage as being a computer or word processor before 1990).
I'm intrigued with the idea of using such equipment to create documents. But I doubt I'd do it. Ultimately your work needs to interface to the world wide web. The level of complication involved in getting your work off of the vintage computer/word processor onto the web, I fear, would be too great.
OTOH I can also wonder if there are vintage tools that are superior enough to merit seeking them out, and that more than make up for the complication of getting the information transferred off the platform?
