(#pzxw5la) I wonder how popular this editor was. Does anyone here know it? 🤔

(#pzxw5la) Woh.. never heard of it. Growing up it was always just the MS EDIT.EXE or for more advanced stuff Nortons editor.

(#pzxw5la) @lyse Well, I can’t say I’ve had much to do with IBM software. 😅 Except of course the “home stuff” in the 1990ies, PC-DOS and OS/2. Little bits of database stuff later on, but let’s just say it was … “convoluted”. I would have loved to work at that company during times like these, though: (That is, if we ignore all the misogyny and racism of that era. Bah.) Big machines. And you could actually understand what they’re doing and how they work. I hate that that is impossible these days.

(#pzxw5la) @xuu @lyse Yeah, I get a feeling that this program was only known to people who worked at IBM. 🤔 Kind of surprising to find it on the internet in the first place.

(#pzxw5la) @lyse Crazy – and nice. 😅 I kind of miss the audible feedback of home computers, too. When the drives were active, you knew the machine was doing something. 🙃 (I still have hard disks, not just SSDs, but they’re so quiet these days that you hardly hear them anymore.)

(#pzxw5la) @movq So you once worked at IBM? ;-)

(#pzxw5la) @movq Nope, I never heard of it.

(#pzxw5la) @movq It's doing something. In an endless loop. :-D

(#pzxw5la) @lyse Not me directly, a family member. 😅 I only had a very brief contact with that company during University, but that was much later.
