Lots of old memories! Built my first computer (the Mark 8 - 8008 based) from
plans in Radio Electronics magazine in 1975. Then upgraded to a TDL Z80
board with 16K (!) of memory. Loaded my first basic using a homemade tape
paper tape reader. Terminal was a kit built Lear Sigler ADM-3. Whet through
MITS Altair and IMSAI boxes. Sold Alpha Microsystems stuff for a few years
before PCs took over the world. First hard drive was 10 MB CDC Hawk that
weighed about 200 pounds. I still have an uncased platter from one of the
disk packs hanging on my office wall. It impresses the kids I work with.

 

Thinking about getting a Flex Radio and have been reading the mail for a
couple of weeks. Thanks to everyone for all the good advise I'm getting!
