Crank it to the Max(-10)

Dabbling in some of the earliest word processing programs for microcomputers, and experimenting with Color Computer graphics before that, had been meant to lead to something combining and enhancing both those things, something from my own experience. A lot of my “fiddling around with old computers” amounts to trying to experience things I was oblivious of at the time (I suppose taking interest in the English-speaking anime fans of the 1980s and early 1990s is similar), but every so often I do get back to something I actually remember.
