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
