Hi Veronica! I understand. 😉 BTW: I like descriptions below the videos. I read them all. 😀 Have found your channel by searching for new videos about GrapheneOS. I wish you and your family only the best.
I really enjoy Public Service Announcement shirts! I look forward to all the future content, perhaps even an episode of Veronica Explains about testing backups?? Thank you for your time!
Amazing job Veronica. You are an inspiration! I hope to grow up to explain tech as well as you do someday. Kudos for the amazing job, hope you get all the support you deserve -- which, in my opinion, is a lot!
Great to see you back, Veronica! I'm looking forward to videos from the new space about fun and quirky old operating systems and programming languages. Plus more Linux tips! I understand.
Glad your better. Did not know about your background until now. I was a COBOL programmer years ago, around the time of Windows 286! Worked for a casino in Las Vegas writting software for the office and gambling functions. Also worked for a furniture company in Las Vegas where I modified COBOL code to include rack and bin warehousing to interface with office accounting, sales and cashier functions. I am retired now and living in Arkansas.
I really love your channel. I discovered it recently and its become as my favorite tech channel on youtube. Keep doing this great job, Veronica. Greetings from Brazil.
Welcome back and thanks for your informative and fun videos! Hope everyone at home is feeling much better. For now, focus on what is really important, and then you can slowly speed it up from there.
if we can make requests, I would love a COBOL tutorial, I'm curious how you can set up a local environment that could mimic the old/legacy mainframes and what compiler can be used? is it even possible (ie simple/painless) on widows?
Sometimes I don't feel like watching a long video but if there are chapters available I will still watch the "most interesting" parts. If there are more people who do this that means you could be getting more views because of them.
During the Premiere you asked who is building what, and what was your first computer, or something like that. My first computer was a CoCo and BASIC was the love of my programming.This extended briefly to my Atari ST, but have not programmed since the early 90s. I have programmed COBOL for large companies in the 90s as part of my real job, then selling/repairing Apple computers, parts and peripherals for the past 25 years. I'd like to get out my CoCo and get back into BASIC programming, but I have to find her first... thanks for listening.
The Basement space looks awesome Veronica. I can't wait to see what you do with it. I'm actually working on something over my garage right now for my content creation (if I can ever get it finished).
Hey, nice to see you back! I had an infection too, probably XBB1.5 ("Kraken") which caused me to lose my voice almost completely and while it's pretty much back, it's not perfect and there's still dome harmonic distortion in it ;). Nice to see your work on the studio and other projects :) Music, musings and mutilations? Nice. I love your channel. Keri on!
Wow COBOL. My tech college degree, in 1989, was taught in COBOL. I did one small project at a job after I graduated only because I begged someone to do so. Never touched it again.
Thanks, I love retro computers, programming languages in particular Quick Basic and Delphi aka qb64 and lazarus. Used to be my favourite pass time at one time.
Oof, as someone currently fighting through some sort of sinus bug, I'm glad to hear you're doing better. Can I just say, that's a nifty desk even before the LEDs. Looking forward to the things you've described. Old programming languages sounds like a fun topic. Even though my first computer was an Apple //e and then a PC XT I am often surprised just how much I missed of what was going on in the 80s. The 70s I can understand, I was still a bit too much of a wee little kid then, but I was obsessed with the //e and then the PC XT in the 80s. Also, I understand.
You have built an original, fun and interesting channel, so it's nice seeing you are back. Of course, as time passes and more work is put on an activity it's only natural that you feel that a permanent space is necessary for it, or maybe better equipment, etc. It's the same for me with sports, for example. A small start is a win, many times
@@VeronicaExplains I remember when my dad and I were playing Starcraft and I asked him if those were Zergs, his response was, "Those aren't Zerglings, they're blood puddles".
Hi Veronica, (Previous post got deleted because it conatained an internal link.) Loving your channel. About the 3:15 point, you put out a request for vintage software. How about RPG II (Report Generator Program) that IBM developed for its System/3/32/34/36 line of min-computers? If memory serves, IBM was looking for a terse, lightweight, business language to replace COBOL at the time. Imagine, if you can, COBOL and Assembler having a baby, and you're on the right track. Also, I'd be interested in your take on the Fish Shell as a replacement/augmentation for bash. Thanks. ~ tEP
Young people need to see this video because they think being a RUclips influencer is all glamorous and parties. They do not see the many lines of COBOL in the background!
Hey, have you considered restarting your Linux commands series? I like the way you explain things even when I know these commands and it would be a shame if you left the series in its current abandoned form
It's hardly abandoned! I have several Lil' Linux Lessons in the works. I don't want to drop them all at once- algorithm concerns and all. Don't worry, more are coming!

Mr. Ed reference?! “Test your backups” T-shirt?!

I wish you and your family only the best.
A label maker! Once you get a label maker, nothing, no thing, is left unlabelled.
Printing a label for the box of label maker parts? PERFECTION!
I really enjoy Public Service Announcement shirts!
I look forward to all the future content, perhaps even an episode of Veronica Explains about testing backups??
Thank you for your time!
Glad you're feeling better, and quite a nice iMac you have there!
Thanks! If only I can remember to pronounce it "Bond-eye" instead of "Bond-ee"! :P
@@VeronicaExplains 😂🦘
I was sick too, and my voice was disappearing.
I am very glad to hear from you again!!
I just now found this channel. Love your humor Veronica! Subbed!

your one of my favorite tech vlogs. i love the nerdy things you do. glad your feeling better and hope you can continue to educate.
I really love your channel. I discovered it recently and its become as my favorite tech channel on youtube. Keep doing this great job, Veronica. Greetings from Brazil.
I loved GEOS for my C 64! Used it exclusively before I left the Commodore ecosystem!
Anyway, enjoy the basement set up!
I understand too. I particularly enjoy watching your informative linux videos.
Glad you are doing better! I think I am getting closer to getting my C64 running BTW.
Easily one of my favorite Cobol devs. I'm gonna need to learn peer tune now
Somehow coincidence on that disease part and the "good antibiotics", i too got sick and tired lately. Btw nice basement "set"
Good to see you back! But more important great to hear you are over whatever it was.
As of the time of this comment, I noticed you have 56k subscribers to this RUclips channel.
Loving those dial-up vibes.
Nice! I didn't notice that!
Veronica, glad your back and healthy. Looking forward to new content.
I understand!!
Glad to know that you are better! Is wonderful to have you back and wish you all the best!! 😊
Good to see you again Veronica! I hope you are well.
Welcome back and thanks for your informative and fun videos! Hope everyone at home is feeling much better.

The animation reminds me of what I would see in courtroom computer reenactments of crimes.

That StarCraft reference was the best!!!
They're not just "damn" hashtags and chapters. Very useful and helpful for re-runs later.
Oh absolutely they are very useful!
Sometimes I don't feel like watching a long video but if there are chapters available I will still watch the "most interesting" parts. If there are more people who do this that means you could be getting more views because of them.
Very appreciated update from the Linux Mom! 😊

I love your channel! I'm looking forward to more Linux lessons. :)
Hope you’re family are doing well welcome back 🎉
Glad you're back! Your channel is very refreshing to see compared to the usual in tech/linux youtube. Keep it up!
love the rhymes. Dr. Suess style.
"course, hoarse, of coarse"....
I understand. And welcome back! My theory is that you've been away building your own awesome Linux distro. ;)
I understand; Great to see you back!
So happy to see a new Veronica vid! Clap on, clap off. :=}
Happy to see you back, and yeah do more short videos on tech. Turn into the Lady Izdihar for retro technology haha

Music, musings and mutilations? Nice.
I love your channel. Keri on!
waiting for entire room tour once done! :)
the gadgets, the apps, to the desk, chair and all nicknecks!
oh damn, I need to check my backups
Wow COBOL. My tech college degree, in 1989, was taught in COBOL. I did one small project at a job after I graduated only because I begged someone to do so. Never touched it again.
i like the opening cut of Veronica's chair % speedrun.
I'm glad to see you back Veronica, I missed your retro editing style.
Yay, retro computers! I can't wait!
Thanks for your high-quality and entertaining videos. Keep up the good work! Glad y'all are doin better.
The subtitles at the start are amazing
Thanks, I love retro computers, programming languages in particular Quick Basic and Delphi aka qb64 and lazarus. Used to be my favourite pass time at one time.
Thanks for the support! And I have some fun plans in store for qb64.

Hello Veronica! Your videos about linux are the best on RUclips, I've learned a lot. Linux is awesome and so are you. ;)
Thank you!
Glad to hear you're feeling better! I can't wait to see your new "youtubery set" ;p
Also, ST Voyager!
Whoa - we've missed you! Welcome back! I'm glad you took the time to recover. :)
Glad to have you back in action. Cant wait for the new content and see more of the new space. btw what is you favorite Voyager episode?
Probably Scorpion. "Think good thoughts." :)
More doggo please. Glad you’re feeling better.
Thanks for the update, glad you are feeling better
My husband and I really enjoy your channel! Thanks for all your hard work... we are both wishing you much success in the future! 🌈♥
Thank you! I appreciate it!
Glad youre feeling better! Cant wait for the olde open source knowledge to come!
I'm glad I'm feeling better, too! Thanks for the support! There'll be some fun videos coming up soon!
Ah, COBOL. I still remember using coding layout forms / sheets. Gotta’ get them columns right. 😂
Welcome back. Hope you, and your family, continue to feel better.
COBOL. the only college course that actually got me an IT gig 😂
Glad to see you back, and I hope you're feeling better.
I was wondering where you had gone to, and here you are! Glad your feeling better.
Thank you! I'm alive and well, just had to fight off the Zerg Queens for a moment.
@@VeronicaExplains I remember when my dad and I were playing Starcraft and I asked him if those were Zergs, his response was, "Those aren't Zerglings, they're blood puddles".
excited to have you back ! patiently waiting for what's next
So sad to hear what you folks had to go through!! Welcome back!
Glad to see you back!
Thanks for this update!! *HUGz*
Your video presence was definitely missed!
Happy to see you again!
Glad you're all feeling better!
Sorely missed welcome back
I love your channel!
Glad to see you back.

Hey everything is cooler with LEDs - even in Summer when it is hot. 😇😜🤨
Patient: Doctor, doctor, I keep thinking I'm a pony
MD: how long have you had this problem?
Patient: well I was a little horse a few weeks ago
Glad to hear the family is healthy again!
You should sell a bobble head that responds to "Hey, Veronica, explain me this . . . "

Welcome Back!!! :=)
Welcome back!!
I very much appreciate the clapper.
Welcome back Veronica, we've missed you
haha the 3d modeling of the office, classic
Great to see you back! 🎉
I understand :)
It's like getting a book, that no one reads any more, just to look at the pretty pictures. Haha. 😊
I understand

Nice EPI!
Thanks.
I understand!
Side note, am I the only one who sent a fax while watching this? Modern technology is amazing.
Hell yeah, Solarized htop
Ooh! Cover Nevada COBOL!
