<p>Hi,</p>
<p>You can enjoy non-chopped up videos by replacing youtube.com by
yewtu.be in related URLs (easiest way to remember).</p>
<p>Or you can paste a youtube URL in the search box of any Invidious
instance, like <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://invidious.fdn.fr">https://invidious.fdn.fr</a></p>
<p>Other instances listed here in case one of them is down:
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://docs.invidious.io/instances/">https://docs.invidious.io/instances/</a><br>

An interesting set of videos indeed, although I wish they
were not all chopped up in 5 minute segments.<br>

this time, there was growing retail demand for Xenix on
IBM-compatible personal computer hardware, but Microsoft
made the strategic decision not to sell Xenix in the
consumer market; instead, they entered into an agreement
with a company called the Santa Cruz Operation to package,
sell and support Xenix for those customers.</blockquote>

<div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:"times new

true. The first personal computer I used was an IBM PC/AT,
and I bought MS-branded Xenix (System III) for it. It was a
box full of floppies, and it came with the MS C compiler
(CL.EXE etc.) which could compile for Xenix or cross-compile
for MS-DOS. That way I could write command-line programs on
Xenix and deliver them for DOS.</div>
