  5. @ North- If that is how its done, can I borrow some? No impressing or swooning here lately!

    @ RP- Yeah, it does. Lets put some big tape drives over here and a lot of panels with flashing lights over here. Sorta like a DEC PDP-4 huh? OK, maybe a PDP-11!

  7. Heeheehee.

    When I was a teen I had a hand me down Commodore 64 and a cache of floppy disks that were my brother's. And it was old back then!

    I remember playing Oregon Trail on a green screen in elementary school, too.

    @ ASM- Come to think about it I do too! Can't kill a old Steelcase chair in that lovely green color, huh?

    @ NFO- Ok, you got me there! I started on a Motorola 6800 assembly language. When I got out of school then I went backwards!
