I love it! You guys should go on the Letterman show, or something. But I must tell you that I kept a 4" diameter roll of paper tape, punched on a model 35, for over 30 years, in my desk, thinking it might come in handy someday. Of course, it never did, and when I retired, I threw it out. OTOH, I once went to a seminar where switch programming was demonstrated. When computing was a baby, you really could do it yourself. I bet most of the pioneers once had a Commodore. Altho the richer ones probably had a Radio Shack. Remember them? The company I worked for then had a bunch of secretaries typing in manuals on TRS-80's. (I think that was the number.) I guess that was even before CPM, altho not by an awful lot.
I owned a TRS80-4P up until I could afford to buy my first 486. I did word processing on it. We still had Windows 3.1.1 and I think it was DOS 6.0 on that DX2-66 with 4 meg. I think its guts are in a box here some place. -- ___ _ _ _ ____ _ _ _ | | | | [__ | | | |___ |_|_| ___] | \/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
