Well I'm sorry if CP/M doesn't have python. Python is available for
more than a dozen different OS not counting the unixes seperatly.
I have no idea what CP/M is but its definately not on my list of things
I've got to know.
You're kidding, right?
For all intents and purposes, CP/M was the first OS for microcomputers,
and MS-DOS was nothing more than a knock off of CP/M.
It's possible that he doesn't know! Sure CP/M was the dominant OS for 8bit
computers, lots of people are getting into computers all the time! :-)
NOW do you remember?
I just happened to be lucky part of a generation to get a computer which ran
CP/M. If it wasn't for that, I'd probably would have been using something
else. I knew people who hadn't heard of GEM for the IBM computers & believed
that Windoze started life as Windoze 3.0?!? How stupid is that? Very little
was taught about those early days of IBM & operating systems. My view is
this is wrong, but sadily most people don't share that view. They rather
know about what's current. Not only that, however telling people that there
IBM compatable is based on a computer over 20 years old, they'd look at you
silly. Sad but true that's the way it's done here in Aust.
I can't imagine any class in any science that doesn't, however briefly,
cover the history of the science.
History in Science more relevant that History of Computers. I tend to enjoy
history a bit as I think of myself as ol' fashioned. Would you have
knowledge of the Harvard Mark I, ENIAC,EDSAC or UNIVAC I? I know I'm a
little rusty on the last 3 computers! :-)
