excellent post, im surprised you know how to use a computer jk jk jk
That really is funny!

To tell the truth, I won an Atari 800XL way back when and that got me started. I modified it with 3 different operating systems (Atari DOS, SpartaDOS, and a disassembler OS) loaded in an EEPROM that could be toggle selected and a banked memory scheme to give 256k on a 64k machine. Computer Shopper published my article describing all this. As you can imagine that was many many years ago

I often wonder had I not won that computer how long it would have taken me to embrace the new technology.

Glad to read your story, Bob! Awesome attention to detail

I'm sorry that you weren't in town when I blew through Rapid City a few weeks ago..... Luckily, I missed that late-season 36" of snow by about a week....although the road crews in DEADWOOD were still fully occupied

IMO, your ride is fixed up a lot nicer than some of the guys less than half your age. Very tastefully done!
