Hello World
Dear Diary,
I have come to the conclusion that I am a true nerd and computer geek and I am not in the least bit ashamed of this fact. Yesterday I figured out how to play DOS, CC64, and AMIGA games on my computer as well as learning how the infamous ALTAIR 8800 worked and understood what the flashing light output means. There was no greater joy last night when that beautiful grainy game came up on my computer and I realized "victory!". My free time today has been dedicated to learning more about old-school programming and I even found a free download of Visual Basic for MS-DOS 6.0.
This winter break I think I'm going to try to mess with some old computers of mine and upload Windows NT 3.1 as the main operating system. As well as taking computers apart and teaching myself how to build one. I also decided I am going to retake that math course I got a C and take some more college algebra because I am really bad at math.
Well, I'm out for now. Love always, Holly
