      Hello Sean!   
      
   05 Mar 22 11:16, you wrote to all:   
      
    SD> Hello All,   
      
    SD> While I enjoy the traffic in here, please move all of the amateur   
    SD> radio chat over to HAM and let's stick to being on-topic in here,   
    SD> please.   
      
   Apologies!   
   I realized that after I sent my post and couldn't figure out how to edit the   
   post to at least add some on-topic content. I did, however, in my followup   
   message (which was sent moments before I downloaded this one...).   
      
   I was just remembering back to when I borrowed a Commodore Plus 4 from a   
   friend just to call local BBSes in the late 1980's. I don't remember much   
   about it, but I believe the plastic case was about the size of my keyboard   
   today and the same color - black.   
      
   My first non-Commodore PC was an 8/12 mHz IBM compatible with about 1 mb RAM.   
   I don't remember whether or not it had a hard drive at first. The first hard   
   drive that wasn't a hand-me-down was a 100 mb that cost about $350.00 circa   
   1991. It wasn't MFM or RLL, but was IDE.   
      
   If memory serves correctly, I remember changing my HD controller from MFM to   
   RLL and got more storage space, or something to that effect.   
      
      
    SD> ... Gone crazy, be back later, please leave message.   
      
   For some of us, it is such a short trip...
