       | I wish I still had the source code for the "OS" I made as a
       | teenager. I got as far as writing an MBR boot loader, switching
       | to protected mode, displaying characters on the screen, and
       | keyboard input. I highly recommend it if you're looking for a fun
       | challenge.

       | The book is good. I wish they would look at the issues on GitHub,
       | there are some things that need to be fixed. The last commit was
       | 10 years ago.

       | journey through the history of computers. The player would play
       | the part of the process scheduler and interrupt handler, starting
       | on a single CPU system with very limited RAM, before growing to
       | SMP systems then maybe getting to multi-system distributed
       | computing platforms that we have today.
