 BW> Oh, I could bore you for hours about my Acorn :)

All of that was very interesting to read.  There were some amazing machines 
made with features well ahead of
their time.  I miss the near-instantaneous booting of a computer.  I know 
those RISC machines were/are fast.

Writing your own terminal emulator sounds like fun and doing it in assembly is 
amazing to me.  I know assembler
is fast--very fast--and is not tyhe easiest way togo but it works very well.

Thanks for sharing your love of Acorns.  I do know that the British pop group 
Erasure still use a BBC computer
in their recording studio.

I have always been a firm believer in "newer isn't always better".  I guess my 
personal love of retrocomputing
as well as my amateur radio hobby where my main radio is approaching 40 years 
old but still works fine.  I wish
I was in that good shape...
