03:15 PM polprog: whatever does the job
03:15 PM AndrevS: Back in the days of Zeta and SkyOS
03:16 PM polprog: if the toshiba i had, had a serial port, id probably slap bsd or even minix on it and make it act as a dumb terminal
03:16 PM polprog: but its too new
03:16 PM polprog: the only laptop with a serial port is dead
03:19 PM AndrevS: And how dead is Unix? Isn't macOS a certified UNIX?
03:19 PM polprog: unix in terms of system V and the stuff that ran on pdp computers is dead sine those became obsolete
03:20 PM polprog: but the idead unix introduced persist
03:20 PM polprog: that sound philosophical a bit but thats true
03:32 PM polprog: unix is not dead the same way serial is not dead
