Reboot the good old days.

HiConsole is a webpage that acts like a user-friendly computer.

It's a combination of the classic command-line conversation with sound, graphics, storage, and some other system essentials.

Like a classic computer, it's easy to program interactively. Because it works in all major browsers, the programs you create can be shared just about anywhere.

Launch HiConsole JavaScript required, cookies recommended. Works in IE6, IE7, Firefox, Opera, Safari. Runs fastest in updated browsers. Launch HiConsole >

Requirements

HiConsole runs in a browser window. It needs:

• JavaScript enabled
• VML or Canvas. In IE, click "ok to run" on the drop-down alert.
• Cookies (if you want to use storage, recommended for the demos on the Cookie Disks)
• Flash (if you want to use SoundManager 2)

Powered by

• Joe Ganley's Lisp for JavaScript

• Alonzo Church & Alan Turing
• Ken Olsen, John Von Neumann, Gordon Moore, Vannevar Bush

Don't launch it yet, but tell me more.

See how HiConsole works in the demos. Your questions (hopefully) are answered in the FAQ.
The Help file has a detailed UI breakdown, and Technical Notes are here.
