Just took a trip down memory lane, back to where it all began for me. On the RM Nimbus 186 PC circa 1989. Since they rolled MESS into the main MAME code stream you can also use it to emulate retro computers like the Nimbus. Picture below is a screenshot showing a quick recursive program that repeatedly draws an ever increasing square with a 10 degree rotation between each. RM logo was my first programming language! #retrocomputing #rmnimbus #turtlegraphics

This made me feel very nostalgic.
We had RM Nimbus 186 machines (and the odd 286) when I first started secondary school. They were very old when I got there and were replaced 2-3 years later. They ran MS-DOS 5.0 and Windows 3.0, and had Word 2 and Excel 4.
If one of these ever fell into my lap, I wouldn't turn it down.
