Missed it first time around (different apocalypse?). News of CollapseOS'
demise appears to have been premature as the second link now states:

"The Collapse OS project is completed! It can be downloaded here."

Welcome to the Apocalypse.

Wow, heh. I read about CollapseOS some years ago and it's interesting
to see that it has made more progress now. Its idea was to run on 1980s
personal computers that could be recovered from landfills, but those are
already hard enough to find that most people messing with CollapseOS
appear to be emulating those old systems on current hardware.

I like the enthusiasm that went into the project, but it was a such
strange idea from the get-go.

Are preppers ever wrong? :) It's reminded me of 'When Worlds Collide'
which I'll have to watch again ... while I still can.

Wasn't one motivation Hugh had for his slide rule project the idea that
slide rules could be used after the Apocalypse, or some such?

(no criticism or otherwise intended, but the CollapsOS rationale
made me think of this)

Should have kept my copy of ...

Kaye and Laby, 1968. Four-Figure Mathematical Tables. Longman, Aust.

https://webmaths.wordpress.com/2014/03/31/a-short-history-of-mathematics-teaching-learning-pt-1/

The cover looks more modern than I remembered. Hmm, 1968 - 'The Planet
of the Apes'. If only we'd known then what the future would bring.
Next Stop Willoughby?
