Keep'em coming, John! I remember back in the time when I was a wee lad and the animals still spoke that I used WordStar on my home-built CP/M machine! (64K of RAM, Z-80 overclocked to 6MHz, Dual floppy drive: 360K 5" and 1.2MB 8") It was much faster then an IBM PC! :) I read this blog for the “infotainment” value and “Whatever happend to…” is informational and entertaining.
