I used to read a lot of Bukowski. I still have a very large number of his books, rare and out of print, stored in boxes.
At first, I thought this was a well-written parody. I never had one inkling about this poem or his technical knowledge. I understand what he was talking about because I was around back then and understand and suffered from these gotchas.
Compatibility was their greatest weakness and, at the same time, their greatest strength. It allowed the Cambrian explosion of the 70s and 80s personal computers, each with their own superpowers.
