Digital Research's Graphics Environment Manager - or GEM - was released for PCs and the Atari ST in 1985. Unfortunately it was a liitle bit too close in look-and-feel to Apple's recently released OS on the Macintosh (and earlier the Lisa), leading to legal pressure to remove certain features. This is the story of how GEM 1 ultimately ended up being by far the most feature-packed release as a result, and how this may well have lead to Apple and Microsoft becoming the dominant desktop platforms throughout the 90s and beyond. https://i.ytimg.com/vi/aAAU5S1irP0/hqdefault.jpg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aAAU5S1irP0 https://www.youtube.com/embed/aAAU5S1irP0 389 2023-05-13T06:00:00+00:00 62735 yes Retro Tech Ctrl-Alt-Rees no computing history apple steve jobs gem digital research gary kildall lee lorenzen graphics environment manager ms-dos dos bill gates history of computing ibm computing atari atari st atari pc lgr rmc https://ctrl-alt-rees.com/2023-05-06-ramble-11-bees.html Ramble 11 - Bees Ramble 11 - Bees Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QrMVJs38B1k https://i.ytimg.com/vi/QrMVJs38B1k/hqdefault.jpg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QrMVJs38B1k https://www.youtube.com/embed/QrMVJs38B1k 1811 2023-05-06T06:00:00+00:00 91 yes Retro Tech Ctrl-Alt-Rees no podcast technology youtube retro gaming https://ctrl-alt-rees.com/2023-04-30-ramble-10-more-fun-rambling-about-it.html Ramble 10 - More Fun Rambling About It Ramble 10 - More Fun Rambling About It Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ScPgxkK1N1U Original Video Links Episode Links:More Fun Making It: https://www.youtube.com/@More… https://i.ytimg.com/vi/ScPgxkK1N1U/hqdefault.jpg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ScPgxkK1N1U https://www.youtube.com/embed/ScPgxkK1N1U 3866 2023-04-30T06:00:00+00:00 179 yes Retro Tech Ctrl-Alt-Rees no podcast technology youtube retro gaming https://ctrl-alt-rees.com/2023-04-26-exploring-a-1988-atari-pc-and-the-gem-desktop.html Exploring A 1988 Atari PC & The GEM Desktop At CES 1987, two years after the Atari ST, Jack Tramiel's Atari unveiled their 8088 powered turbo XT PC range.

This iconic vintage record player enabled teenagers of the 50s and 60s to listen to their very own records for the first time, and they were hugely popular. Mine, however, was in a bit of a sorry state, so I treated it to a restoration, including a modern cartridge upgrade and preamp, serviced the original mono valve / tube amplifier and gave it an overall service to help keep it running like clockwork for another 60 years. https://i.ytimg.com/vi/MumeyBO37aI/hqdefault.jpg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MumeyBO37aI https://www.youtube.com/embed/MumeyBO37aI 600 2023-02-13T07:00:00+00:00 13354 yes Retro Tech Ctrl-Alt-Rees no dansette hifi vintage hifi record player dansette record player vintage dansette record players restoration repair service tempo dansette tempo record player restoration vintage record player record players 1960s 1950s 60s 1962 margolin https://ctrl-alt-rees.com/2023-01-26-ultimate-og-xbox-upgrades-internal-hdmi-with-xboxhdplus-openxenium-ssd-noctua-fan.html My OG Crystal Xbox Upgrades!

Having tried and failed to crack the Japanese market 10 years previously, and finding themselves up against the newly launched Nintendo Famicom, it was always going to be an uphill battle.

Released in 1986, it was comparatively low specced for its time but of course still subject to the "IBM Tax" - making it notoriously bad value for money. What's worse is that IBM built in various measures to prevent users being able to upgrade it, so as to prevent cannibalisation of PS/2 sales. So what were these limitations? How do we work around them? Just how fast can this thing go anyway?
