    Yes Rick - I well remember the commodore 64 - spent nights copying sw from tapes then disk drive. my boys were raised on them thus two are in high tech businesses (one is an international figure in freesat technology). All because they spent hours trying to sort out the software when they were under ten. We went on to a commodore PET then apricot XI10 and then our own IBM compatibles ( anyone had a Solitaire PC? ) until the far east compatibles put making PCs a waste of time.

    Now when I look at our XP Dells I wonder if we have really come so far since the 10MB icl 8086 with ten terminals running concurrent dos in 1986 as we did from Commodore 64 (?1983) to the ICL. Wordperfect was a super WYSIWYG sw that went on a floppy and did all we do now. Lotus was much better than excel but thats disappeared now.
