assembly that would occasionally wipe out my bios. I did fix it eventually. Da#n that pointer arithmetic. Every time it
wiped it out, I had to reconfigure my bios settings... Ugh! I wrote the TSR just for fun too. As it turns out, TSR we

Oh the stories. Since my first program on punched cards in College
in 1970, I have seen and done many things that make the current hair
count an amazing feat. Like exploiting a memory bug to create
records that spanned cylinders on drumsor knowing that a jumper when
cut or removed would doub

I've never used punch cards. I was born in 1970.
I've seen drives the size of telephone books, but we were using them as
doorstops.
When I think of my C and C++ programming days, I

The weirdest story I've heard was the programmer
who wrote a self-modifying program that would save its current state to the drum
in order to store more information about the data space. Management retired the
