 te> The sound of the floppy diskette on the original Macintosh.

 I was at university when the Mac 512K model became "the" thing for
 students. Get your Apple Credit card at the local university, pick up a
 Mac, Applewriter printer and external floppy drive (you'll need it!)
 and you're on your way.

 I think those cards were something like 28% interest. Robbery, but it
 had to be given the potential risk they were taking - even with parents
 co-signing for them.

 te> Reading C.

 I bought K&R C a while ago to put into my bookcase. I'd thought about
 writing some C code again, it's been years.



.... XT or AT, it makes a big difference.
