    Wow... look at him by the Com-PU-tor. My Apple IIC is just begging to rise from the ashes. Maybe it can enlist the aid of Shatner's girdle to unleash all Hell on the Calecovision.

    Cool link Pthug.
    I never had it like this where I grew up. But I send my kids here because the fact is you go to one of the best schools in the country: Rushmore. Now, for some of you it doesn't matter. You were born rich and you're going to stay rich. But here's my advice to the rest of you: Take dead aim on the rich boys. Get them in the crosshairs and take them down. Just remember, they can buy anything but they can't buy backbone. Don't let them forget it. Thank you.Herman Blume - Rushmore

    I had a Commodore 64 AND 2 disk drives AND the big ol' daisy wheel dot matrix printer.

    Man, I thought I was Matthew Broderick in WarGames.

    I had a teacher with a comodore 16. I still remember him saying "if you can't write a program to fit in 8K or less of ram then you aint no programmer".

    Exactly! Now, programmers are sloppy and rely on processing speed.

    Hard, tight code. The REAL way. I had two profs that at one time did a lot of the programming for the flight simulators in Canada. Their method IMO was the best and they taught Assembly & C.
