Nobody mention the venerable Heathkit 8080 (my first one), as an option had a casette interface intended for "massive" storage :) And the "luxurious" Heathkit "All-In-One" H-89 (my second one) featuring a 2 Mhz Z-80, full 16 KB memory and 100KB Floppy, running HDOS. I upgraded to 32KB and then 64KB plus 1.2MB Floppy and CP/M. Gee I'm old too! :) On 1/9/2010 8:34 PM, RJK wrote: > "Stan Starinski"<China(a)stealsUSJobsPatentsSoftwareMusicVideo> wrote in > message news:ep$dsKZkKHA.4912(a)TK2MSFTNGP02.phx.gbl... >>> I'm 54 years old and have been using PC's since they were invented >> >> So you started in 1976? >> By the way, Asus is not a bad brand, it's favored by techies, >> do-it-yourselves, etc., it's not a "cozy" brand like Apple.
