One thing I must admit surprises me in retrospect is how much better certain things like cassette tape data formats could have been engineered. It might be fun to try to see how much better I could do things today (for use with the old hardware), though I'm not sure what the point would be.

I know, I'd like to drag out my Apple //e and/or my TI-99/4A and give it a shot today and write some programs again, especially since I still play and run role playing games today, having a computer would make it easier. I ought to google down some BASIC interpreters for the PC I have now, maybe I could do the same thing on this 1998 Pentium II, 266 MHz machine that is my current computer.
