Not really related to VMS but considering all the rage over AI I thought people here might get a chuckle out of this. I am sure most people here know me and my long standing interest in the Software Tools Virtual Operating System which was, basically, POSIX before anyone even thought of the concept. Among my other "legacy" systems I also have and still fool around with a bunch of TRS-80's. Believe it or not, the Z80 based TRS-80's were among the systems for which a version of STVOS was available. Thought I would look to see if any of it was still floating around. Asked Google "TRS-80 Software Tools Virtual Operating System" Got this result at the top of my response generated by whatever AI engine they use. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- A "TRS-80 Software Tools Virtual Operating System" refers to a software program that allows a modern computer to emulate a vintage TRS-80 computer, essentially creating a virtual environment where you can run old TRS-80 software, including operating systems like TRSDOS, by simulating the hardware and functionality of the original machine, letting you access and use programs designed for the TRS-80 on your current computer. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- That is the biggest pile of steaming poo I have ever seen come out of any of the various AI engines I have run into. Not one piece of it is accurate other than the mention of TRSDOS. I also have a bunch of iRobot Roombas in my house. Based on my experience with AI and robots I think there is no chance we will have to worry about any Terminators in the future. bill
