Sorry I didn't respond earlier. Mine isn't a T2 Mac. Also, I've actually been doing some distro-hopping in recent days --- switching among Fedora, the Arch-based CachyOS, and the Fedora-based (and very-early-stage) RakuOS ---

Fictitious company names and URLs follow... I once worked for a U.S.-based company called Doe Products, Inc., which it commonly abbreviated as "DPI." When the web started becoming relevant, DPI hadn't managed to get either do

Off-topic, but am curious about why this page doesn't allow scrolling using either a mouse or touchpad unless you're "grabbing" the scrollbar. (At least you can page up and page down with keys, I should add.) Am using a

Loved that era. Although my main computing back then involved the "Skinny Mac" and (at work) PCs, I also tinkered with eight-bit Ataris. Even got a very bare-bones Atari BASIC program, "Line Deleter," published in the Ja
