  CS> MC10?? My old age is setting in! :( I can't remember what those were...

It was a Radio Shak computer rughly about the size of a timex sinclair 
computer with a chicklet keyboard and did run color basic programs.  Cassette 
based load and save for
your programs but was a great little puter. :)

 CS> Right! I did like using the command prompt, made computing a little
 CS> more personal! When I saw Linux for the first time, it made it easier
 CS> to migrate to it YEARS ago, just because of the command prompt! Before
 CS> that I fell in love with OS/2!

 Unhunh, I do miss some of those old 8 bit utilities that ran from the command 
proompt.  Had a nice little program to display a directory.  DDir.exe was the 
name
but having upped to windows 10 64 bit mode.... don't work no more. :(

 CS> Yeah, and when 'plug n play' did come around, it was a *ITCH in OS/2!
 :\

hahahah, I'll bet and of course there was little documentation on how to get 
some
of that stuff to play nice with os/2

 CS> I dilly dallied in BASIC/QB, when I got into BBSing, I got into seeing
 CS> how big and smart I could make my batch file! hehe....

 CS> The good ole days!

 yep, setting up batch files to automate front door with bunches of games, 
mail tossers tic processors and having 10 downlinks was a bit of a challenge 
so I do know where
you're comming from. :)
