TempleOS
A thing of beauty. Insane genius, maybe, but you’ve got to appreciate ten years of work on this 64-bit OS, from the ground up, by one man.

Sadly the Doctor Is Out and on strike, so you’re left with me. Ho hum. *blows on stethoscope* Emergency for Doctor RingDing! (117Mb, 1:57) Saint Etienne – Record Doctor An Instamatic recreation –…
