> Don't do that
I quite like the idea though... I would love to see a real resurgence in retro computing app development that actually brings it all past the "niche of a niche" stage. Even if it's just "make this fast on a XX MHz CPU" and not even targeting a retro OS... embedded could use a lot of extra talent there too.
After all, restrictions are exactly what sparks creativity in people.
I also think the Linux desktop could definitely do with a lot more restriction, which would also help with the decision paralysis people are often faced with.
