When you consider how little memory this desktop software needed and how well it performed. And today? At some point, software developers took a wrong turn. 😢

Very true. But then again, Skyrim 😀

Interestingly That second (3rd?) item in the _Wildcards_ dialog prety much dates the use of this version of Gemini , which is to show ASP and PHP files. Gemini was written with "programming" in mind, hence the inclusion of Mupfel, unlike most other Desktops which required a 3rd Party Shell - I remember finding Mupfel scripts that would compile a software project, and thats how _I_ found out about Gemini (the .99 version)

I used Gemini and had compilers for pascal, modula-2, modula-3 and C. But it was using Latex that got me hooked.

I used to love the combo of Gemini, NVDI, MiNT, etc...

I don't think I'd ever seen that version of Gemini. I remembered the huge icon 1.0 version and never saw the appeal of that one, TBH. Now I know what you were blathering on about previously. ;)

You should definitely put up a vid that shows off Kobold. Amazing little app, with 'little' being the operative word. Something like 12KB if I remember correctly. Written in 100% assembler. The best £49 I ever spent.

Besides the font and the (in my opinion) well thought-out menu system, I think _hook-abitlity_ of the GEM environment is why I love the Atari's so much. It was because of the _GEM File Selector_ extender programs that I realised you could use Windows in a similar way (the file selector is a cut down Explorer)

With your Kobold review, be aware that there some issues that can destroy a FileSystem with modern setups, there were some threads on the MiNT mail list around 2010-2012 I think and some posts on Atari Forum about it too (after 2012, maybe 2016) - it might be directly related to using Kobold in conjunction with XaAES & TeraDesk, or _long file name filesystems_ or both (sorry those are just off the top of my head - but someone did diagnose the issue)

That's interesting. I'm also curious how it fits in with modered SD card HD repacements.

Mupfel is not a console, it is a shell that is running in the console.

You keep saying TOS instead of GEM. And before you say Gemini II runs on TOS, that's not what I mean. For example, when you checked the small icon mode you referred to it's behaviour as being the same as in TOS. TOS does not do icons, that's GEM and the GDI. You know this as you have previously explained it in other videos! lol
