The first code I wrote was on a Tandy Color computer (CoCo) in basic. I had 16k to work with and no backup cassette tapes, so I had to write everything down as I made corrections onscreen. Somewhere around the year 1979. No hard drive, so everything went when the computer was powered down. Whenever I wanted to run the program again, I would power the computer on and break out my notebook. Then I'd start typing the program in again from the notebook notes. After that I could run the game. ;) L8r, LX -- °°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°° Kernel 2.4.18-6mdk Mandrake Linux 8.2 Enlightenment 0.16.5-11mdk Evolution 1.0.2-5mdk Registered Linux User #268899 http://counter.li.org/ °°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°
