Enjoyed writing 32- then 64-bit kernel drivers for PCI cards on SPARC (and Intel) Solaris circa 2000.

Used to play it loads on the Beeb with green mono screen. Wasn't there a bugette in that version where he could get stuck half in a platform?

It does like traversing the whole tree to get to any object in HostFS, every damn time. Many moons ago I did modify RPCEmu to just first try to access the specified object before doing its usual stuff, which helped substantially on Widnes.

Faster than running it natively due to the way HostFS works.

I think it's cool how copper connects to tectonics - a failed rift in Michigan, ocean floor stranded by convergent tectonics in Cyprus - and how that tectonics connects to human use of metals.
