I wish I had mine back! <grins> I had three Altos, three IMSAI's, one Osburn luggable, Televideo 802, 803 networked to a 1603 running MP/M II, one Kaypro, Jeeeezzz, I ferget the rest of the pile. Nothing better than a green-screen monitor hooked to a behemoth Sperry-Unisys 5000/90 and watch the display speeding along a line at the time at 9600 baud. Wordstar! Super-Calc! Streaming tape! That's what tar really is for. You betcha. I really miss the old iron. :) Ric -- ================================================ My father, Victor Moore (Vic) used to say: "There are two Great Sins in the world... ..the Sin of Ignorance, and the Sin of Stupidity.
