I know this is really not open source related, but you have to be gracious with me, I am moving Saturday, and have spent all week loading up this giant metal box that was deposited (at my behest) in my driveway. I came across this box, used many moons ago to move me to South Carolina from South Florida. I thought it would give some of you a smile to see the Seagate sticker. I can recall spending nearly $300 for this 30 Megabyte drive, but it has RLL control! It went into a cutting edge 8088 with a monochrom monitor. That was soon replaced with a blazing fast 286 with a CGA card. Four whopping colors, wow. How the times have changed. Ahh. Those were the days. Actually not, I recall fighting with the MS-DOS based PC to recognize it. And then I recall fighting with my terminal dialer software (whose name I cannot recall, it used a blue screen and dialed out, it was all the rage when I was 10) to connect to my favorite BBS, Moonshae. Wow. Nostalgic. Any of you around during those early days? For what it’s worth, running in another room was an Apple IIc. It’s nice to see LOGO lives on in KTurtle… I promise a new podcast is forthcoming. I am currently taking suggestions as to what to review in the future…look for a post on that soon…
