 Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me. |

When you look at all the fancy languages we have these days - including MMBASIC - it makes you wonder how the hell they wrote stuff back then.... Atari 2600 VCS Programming Can you imagine having to debug a game being written for one of these 30-odd years ago.....  Smoke makes things work. When the smoke gets out, it stops! |

Way back when  We where about to make controllers from Gameboys because they had a Z80 based chip. Got all the information on how things worked when we found a company in Germany was already doing that and had good products and fair prices. The VC money dudes backed out didn't even want to try.  So some of the team made things like door locks, sprinkler systems and even a few games and learning tools for the little ones. Some where in my boxes (packed 10 years ago) are the DOS tool set.  Along with my CPM 8" disk and drives. Now I feel even older  Great times then and Great times now. All about the people who helped you and the ones you helped. Quazee |
