I understood the progression when it went from 8086 to 80286, 80386 and 80486.
It all started to go wrong when they rebranded the 80586 to a Pentium and it's gone completely insane since then.

*Please only add me if you're over twenty-one.
Since the Bio field has such a short character limit, consider this to be my profile/biography.
I don't write about American politics, race, anticapitalism, world affairs (wars, poverty, oppression, etc.), loneliness, bad self-esteem, or anxiety/depression, and will not add those who do so often. The same is true of those who feel it necessary to use obscenities constantly. I am not a modern programmer or gamer, I do not use Linux, and I don't care what social network you use.*
Hello. You may have seen me on Friendica.world or blob.cat. Both had accessibility issues, so I am now here, but my other accounts are still open (dandylover1 on both). Also, if you wish to add me to MSN/Windows Live Messenger via Escargot, I am dandylover1@escargot.chat.
Georgiana Brummell is not my legal name, but it is what I use. I chose it in honour of Beau Brummell. I live in New Jersey and am forty-one years old. Some of my interests include studying dandyism, nineteenth-century English grammar, Upper Received Pronunciation, the Italian language, British history, the Regency, opera, and MS-DOS and its current varients. I like coffee, tea, wine, cooking, classic literature, nature and historical documentaries, old BBC radio shows, gardening, hot weather, and playing cards and dice. I love opera, particularly singers from the 1940's and earlier, with Tito Schipa, Beniamino Gigli, Ferruccio Tagliavini, and Mattia Battistini being my favourite singers. I also enjoy English and Viennese operettas. In classical music, I like Baroque through early Romantic. I prefer antique menswear (usually Edwardian) and accessories. I love wit, wordplay, and dry humour without vulgarity, though I do enjoy adult fun. I am happily childfree and am not religious. I have been totally blind since I was two months old, due to Retinopathy of Prematurity.
I am also single and searching. If you are a single, childfree, intelligent, well-dressed man over sixty, please write to me. I will accept platonic friends twenty-one and older.
This is my journal. Anyone can read or comment, whether or not he is a member.

At the monthly Peretz Centre dinner last night they played this documentary The Anarchist Lunch (2023) by Rachel Epstein, about her father Norman Epstein and his circle of mostly men, mostly UBC profs who met for Chinese food and to talk about politics every thursday since the late 80s. it's partly about lifelong activism and partly about male friendship and aging.

In a world that made sense, Trump would be in prison and Biden retired.
Balmazújváros, 1977. These four men, from a small town in eastern Hungary, would have seen a great deal of history in their time: two world wars, the dismemberment of their country in 1921, dictatorships, revolutions - the lot.
