O.K., but do they have a 250 GB thumb drive yet?? ....That's what I thought.

[mysterio]

I might have played it. I took the class in '82. I loved all of those games. I had a disk full of them, or several disks, actually. The TRS-80 was awesome. I realize I am the first to type that sentence ever.

Back when mini-computer meant a box the size of a refrigerator attached to removable disk pack drive units almost as big.

IBM System 3 with 96 column card reader/sorter and 5MB removable disk packs.

Ha, you young whippersnappers!

I remember Monroe Calculators, and the first computer I built was a Heathkit Analog-- three dials, two for input, one to null the bridge...

pfffft~~~
I had the end of my finger nearly torn off in one of those damned things when I was about 5. (Monroe Calculator)

I wish I'd kept mine- Mom sold the old house, and I plumb forgot it was still stored in my Dad's old closet.

Loved to watch it divide a big number- all the grinding and churning was an honest effort.
