"Remember paper tapes?"

I recall that we had a program that would play "Flight of the Bumblebee" by controlling the spindle of the tape reader.

I still have a small box of paper tapes ... somewhere...

Are all of us the type of people who never throw things away? How can you come up with a transistor or a diode when you need one if you throw things away?

Too much of my stuff is halfway to antique status.

Yeah, I’m one of those,

I really need that st506 controller, never know when I’ll have to get somebodies pics off a hard drive.

I think I have a paper tape around here somewhere.

It was fun, we where making it up as we went along.

I’m still working, it’s SSDs now.
