MIST1025/VILER-TDC23c

Mistigram: and here’s an #ANSIart portrait of actress #SydneySweeney in promotion of the 23rd installment of the #TotalDOSCollection, as drawn by VileR. She’s still in the news starring in Christy, but the illustration is a little “Big Blue” wordplay throwback to her American Eagle “great jeans” ad earlier this year. This piece was part of a larger scroller that appeared in last month’s spooky MIST1025 artpack collection.

Where are my New York Football Giants fans at? Looking for fans of Big Blue Wrecking Crew for this season

Ugliest and most poorly hidden #EasterEgg in #OperatingSystem history? Literally an executable - `\OS2\BITMAPS\AAAAA.EXE` - on the boot drive. CW: your eyes may bleed. Boost to people you don't like.

Don't get me wrong - I really like OS/2. But IBM never really made pretty things, did they?

And the alt text needs to be forced upon y'all in this one:

Short video clip showing a vector drawing of a green field with a road leading past some purple mountains in the background. There's a small blob of water next to the road. There are gradients everywhere: background, mountains, road, water..
The sun is orange (also gradient) with a drop shadow like only late 80s vector drawing software could. Corel Draw maybe? It reads "OS/2 Warp" in the top right corner.

There is an absurdly large metal pole with an even larger white sign full of names printed in a horribly-rendered font (probably System Proportional). The background of the sign is white and, thankfully, not gradient. I suspect this is due to technical limitation, not artistic ones.

Kind of a fun exercise!

Here's the blank sheet in case anybody's interested in making their own :)

Impact was guaranteed when the decision to enter the market of #microcomputers was made by #IBM. In retrospect it wasn't their capacity of unique hardware design and outstanding software development skills that made their #PC so successful.

Of course the #BigBlue #corporation with #Sstem360 #mainframe #computers ignored niche markets like #homecomputers for most of the 1970s. As #marketleaders they did #LOL hard about #hobbyists, especially since #DEC challenged them hard with better #minicomputers.

Simultaneously, IBM built a team of young talented engineers in Boca Raton, Florida, to develop a #microcomputer in secrecy, and fast! Somehow, directors #WilliamLowe & #PhilipDonEstridge made a decision under pressure that turned out to be great for the entire market, not their employer exclusively.

Considering the time (and #$hits) given, it's only logical that they relied heavily on free available components instead of own #chipdesigns. But somehow, the lack of #IP passed their lawyers and IP team before #InternationalBusinessMachines went public.

1981, August 12th, the IBM #PC5150 changed the world of #PersonalComputers, by accident (for the better of humanity).

Suite à une conversation en MP avec @alcidefulchibar (qui ne m’en voudra pas j’espère d’exposer la capture de cette conversation, en même temps y a rien de très personnel), j’ai rapidement croqué the Big Blue. Et donc le logo fait de mémoire est catastrophique ! 😁😅😁
Mon poignet va me maudire (d’ailleurs il le fait à l’instant où je tape ces lignes l’enfoiré !!! 😡), mais tantpis.
