Even when development started in the 70s, it took #Apple #computers twice as long as expected not only because they had to get rid of #Jobs first. Still ahead of it's time #LISA was launched 1983 with 1Mb RAM for almost U$D 10K. The most interesting documentary about #IT you'll find here...

Instead of #Adobe #Illustrator #Ai and #PostScript #PS, our highly detailed #vector #illustration of #AppleLisa #GUI #OS #retrocomputer was created in #svg #vectorgraphics #technology with #Inkscape. #Download & #donate here...

Okay, so apparently #drawIO does not export #SVG as proper SVG..... the texts are embedded in some HTML elements...
Firefox can render it perfectly, but when using some tool like #Inkscape , the text is a raster graphic.
When turning off font embedding and XML inclusion of the diagram within the SVG file, when exporting from drawIO, Inkscape can at least load the text as text, but it is weirdly truncated and does not stay within its bounds.

What the hell is this?

Edit: Pinging @drawio - perhaps you guys have an idea? :D

1982 Commodore introduced the computer for the masses not the classes...
“It writes, rates, creates, even telecommunicates. Costs less does more — the #Commodore64

This outstanding #homecomputer came with #8bit #MOS6510 #CPU, 64KB RAM and #BASIC. Initially the #C64 was sold for a little under 600 bucks, but competition was brutal in the #8bit-war. https://youtu.be/E9nDsIvUto4

With prices dropping #Commodore sold two million units annually and had a market share up to 40% in the US until 1986.
At one point, the company was selling as many C64s as the rest of the industry combined.

Even when #IBM #PC 5150 compatible #16bit systems changed that in 1988, the #C=64 became highest-selling computer model of all time.

Our #vector #graphic #retrocomputer #art wasn't realized in old #Adobe #PostScript #vectorgraphics #tech with #Ai #Illustrator, but in #svg #technology with #FreeSoftware #Inkscape
