 My first computer was an Exidy Sorcerer (circa 1978) -- Z80, 16 Kb RAM,

 years ago when my wife began to enforce her rule that all of my really neat 
 stuff had to be kept in this one (very crowded) room. Those of you who have

Aah, a PDP 8.  That was my first hands on computer (1969) as opposed to handing in 
jobs to the IBM Big Iron. 
Actually the photo is of a PDP 8i, whereas ours was  an 8e which should be a bit 
older.  You set that row of rocker switches in octal in order to boot it. The basic 
model had 4 k memory but ours was jazzed up with an extra 4k.  Iron core memory and 
programs stored on punched paper tapes.

Grow up you stupid little kid.
Perhaps before getting involved in a real OS you should
study some English.

Ask politely and you may get help.  This way not from me.
