Some link clearance while pondering about new projects… Earlier: What’s Cool? · What’s Cool? II

• The origins of DEL (0x7F) and its Legacy in Amiga ASCII art
  On the Amiga, the non-printable DEL control code is mapped to a printable character and has thus been used extensively in ASCII art. Well-curated deep dive with lovely example pieces. Cool: My post on different Topaz versions is cited in Part 2! :)
• The Other TOS System Font
  Speaking of font archeology: Here’s a compilation of subtle differences in the system font characters, but on the Atari ST. Gotta say, the TOS ROM fonts also have a lovely retro charm to them, and I’m envious of all the extra glyphs and the fact that they included font variants for 1:1 and 1:2 pixel ratios.
• Inside Commodore Amiga’s History Part 2
  Another panel of ex-Commodorists held at VCF East 2025! Features some stories of the Amiga launch event with Andy Warhol and Debbie Harry, how the CDTV came to be, and much more. (They once hacked up an Amiga 500 in an SX-64 case – what?!)
• Honest and Elitist Thoughts on Why Computers Were More Fun Before
  In one way or another, we’re all chasing that certain retro computing nostalgia, the thrill and amazement we felt back in the day. I for sure am! But why exactly? And what has changed since computers became omnipresent, incredibly powerful, and a commodity in everyone’s day-to-day lives? Funnily enough, these recollections and musings themselves manage to give me goosebumps. :)
• Wie Amiga nach Deutschland kam: Geschichte von Peter Kittel, der bis zum Ende an Commodore glaubte
  (German) Christian Spanik im Gespräch mit Dr. Peter Kittel – ein Name, der mir als jungem Amiga-Fan natürlich seit jeher ein Begriff war! Ich war sogar ein bisschen Peter-Kittel-Fan und kurz davor, die eigentlich korrektere Eindeutschung „edieren“ statt „editieren“ zu übernehmen. Seine eigene Homepage wird übrigens bis heute aktualisiert und ist eine Fundgrube für allerlei Commodore-Geschichten und einiges mehr.
