@IzzyOnDroid I even took the pain to understand which blocks were unmovable and why, so I could manually move them to the beginning of the disk. After three failed attempts, my system could boot again… 🙈

@ptesarik @IzzyOnDroid blimey love the dedication!

@ptesarik dedication was using the Norton Utilities to localize a learning app by editing its HEX code, making sure the translated strings exactly fit into the space defined by the original locale 🙈 Those were the days, back in the 90s… I even remember the name of that learning game: "Googol Math Games" – eek, they are still around? Wow: dosgames.com/game/googol-math-… (I doubt my translation can be found anywhere, though – that was 1993/94 and done for a kid, no copy kept)

@IzzyOnDroid Nah, true dedication was when I disassembled SpartaDOS 3.0, printed it out and spent my summer holiday reading it and adding comments. That's how I stayed with my computer in a place without electricity.

@ptesarik Wow. OK, THAT is hard to top 🤪 @jameswoodcock
