I did use an Apple IIE in the US Army in the very early 80's, it was
hooked to a laserdisk and was used for mapping purposes running dBase.

That was my first experience with the dot prompt and I found it
fascinating. Are you in the UK? JW as I have never had the privelege of
seeing or using a BBC Micro. So it's a 6502 system from your post, so I
guess maybe the equivalent of my C-64? Although the 64 could only do
software based 80 col (I think). I tried my hand at basic, but never
assembler (not yet anyway).

 BW> The BBC is great for other things, though - ==> therefore classic
 BW> my book :) 

I agree! Sounds like a very interesting system to learn and use! Thanks
for educating me! Always a good thing...

Best regards Bob
