    Thanks Match, I bought my first computer in 1998 and I thought I had the latest and greatest then. Look how far the technology has gone since then. 35 years ago, if someone told me that I would have a machine in my home, like I do now, I would have called them a fool and that that likely hood would have been beyon the beyon.

    I enjoyed this, thanks much. Rich :nod:

    I've been messing with these things for a while but not that long. ;) First one I had didn't even have a floppy, storage was a cassette tape deck.
