Built-in spreadsheet capabilities πŸ™€

Hey, VisiCalc was an absolute revelation, man!

To be fair most of the spreadsheet capabilities I use are cloud hosted now.

Don't remind me.

Hey, 16 bit color is well over 65,000 colors - just how many do you need to show a lousy deck of cards?!?

[–] popekingjoe@lemmy.world 16 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

I dunno. Like 4?

Hey now, the Game Boy had only 4 shades of grey and it was badass.

Matthew Perry was a huge gamer so this fits (he voiced a character in Fallout New Vegas because he was a fan of the series)

I actually remember the Solitaire card back images being dithered because I had the resolution turned up (and thus the color depth turned down).

[–] Jesus_666@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

And if you went for the color depth because your graphics accelerator could do HighColor at 800x600 you had to decide between 15-bit and 16-bit colors.

[–] grue@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

I don't remember having the choice of 15-bit. I only remember having the choice of "256" (8-bit indexed palette), "thousands" (16-bit "high color," with 5:6:5 bits per channel for RGB respectively), or "millions" (24-bit, 8 bits per channel).

Porn

I don't know if you actually experienced internet in the 90s. It got the job done, but it really killed the mood when the image stopped loading at the eyebrows or someone tried calling.

I'm old old.

Safe click, not porn

In 2026 you need that juice for the web browser.
