    Hello All,

    While I enjoy the traffic in here, please move all of the amateur radio chat over to HAM and let's stick to being on-topic in here, please.

    Apologies!
    I realized that after I sent my post and couldn't figure out how to edit the post to at least add some on-topic content. I did, however, in my followup message (which was sent moments before I downloaded this one...).

    I was just remembering back to when I borrowed a Commodore Plus 4 from a friend just to call local BBSes in the late 1980's. I don't remember much about it, but I believe the plastic case was about the size of my keyboard today and the same color - black.

    My first non-Commodore PC was an 8/12 mHz IBM compatible with about 1 mb RAM. I don't remember whether or not it had a hard drive at first. The first hard drive that wasn't a hand-me-down was a 100 mb that cost about $350.00 circa 1991. It wasn't MFM or RLL, but was IDE.

    If memory serves correctly, I remember changing my HD controller from MFM to RLL and got more storage space, or something to that effect.

    For some of us, it is such a short trip...
