Spent many a happy hour of my late childhood drawing all sorts of things in it. I can never get my head round the idea that such a program isn't a mandatory part of an OS. That or a real time memory hex editor (anyone remember the one that came with the Watford Electronics Shadow RAM board for the Model B?)
Another vote. That throws the rest of my afternoon out while I try it then!

No 'was' - versions of it are still being developed.

It's one of the reasons I still use a RISC OS machine. CAD progs that do the same (and more, of course) are just to complicated to bother with for me. It's excellent for sketching out pretty well anything - if like me you can't draw freehand for toffee.

Piggin typical. Spent ages last night working out a cutting list to price the job up. Quite excited about doing my first hexagonal deck.
Lady rang me this morning to say she had changed her mind & wants a square one instead...

Ask Drivel to work out the "across flats" on that one.

Retro-technology as art - love it!
In the same vein, I've got a pair of HDDs (3.5" & 2.5") without lids mounted in a frame on the wall.

That's _new_ technology.
Wish I'd thought of that before I junked that 5.25 inch one last year...
And I always did want the big platter from a full scale head crash on a
14 inch drive!Andy

is an emulator of a GEC 4000 series minicomputer, in this case emulating a GEC 4160, which had one of the more interesting front panels in the GEC 4000 series (albeit, an optional extra at the time). The GUI front panel does actually work as it should (as far as I remember, anyway). The GEC 4000 series starts in 1972, although the GEC 4160 is about 1981.
The emulator has booted and is running OS4000, the main OS which ran on these systems. The system console is on the right, and a multi-access terminal on the left, where SMAN (system manager, a.k.a. equivalent of root) has just logged in.
I still have a real GEC 4162, which mostly still works (just the ethernet controller has died).
