It's a 2017 article, but according to this, the two personal computers with the lowest input latency of all time are the Apple //e (1983) and the TI-99/4a (1979)
In the era I grew up (early 70s), stay-at-home moms were not uncommon. I knew several families that either did not have washing machines, or had them but did not use them, because a lot of the women enjoyed the communal aspect of socializing at the town’s laundromat. I’m sure the rise of 2 income households also drove the adoption of in-home washing machines.
Every airport is different because every local geography, existing land use, and weather pattern is different.
Seattle has generally ether north or south winds depending on season, and the airport is located on the only buildable flat plateau for miles around, so has 3 runways all going the same direction, N/S.
Denver built an all-new airport way outside of town where there was unlimited buildable land. Their winds are highly variable even within one season, so they have 6 runways in a crossing configuration.
It wasn't that Sears was unable to adapt to new realities, they merely had a incompetent hedge fund manager CEO who was unable to separate his fantasy world of Objectivist delusions from reality. He tried to implement a management structure based on Ayn Rand novels, with predictable results. Sears didn't die a natural death, it was the victim of yet another Objectivist murder.
I have a stack of cassettes that came with a TI-99/4A I bought. 4 are 1978-1983 Realistic C-60s with what look like homebrew games. I wonder what "NAME THAT BONE" is all about. 1 is a 1973-1977 Realistic C-90, highlights include "CHECK BOOK" (identity theft ahoy!) and "LUNAR LANDER"
Edit: here you go, source code for "NAME THAT BONE".
