This was used about 10 years ago on 3.5" floppies!

3.5" -- laughs sarcastically

8" floppies, 16" 96mb 5-platter hard drives.

32K was "gobs" of memory.

I programed in assembly language to force 16 bit graphics out of a 4mhz 6809

When I was 8, I took a summer class in computer programming. Think it was a form of basic. It was on a TRS-80. I remember thinking that thing was really great. I still miss B52 Bomber (drop the pixel to bomb pixel buildings) and Oregon Trail. We had both of those games to play during down time in the class.
