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...              Ray                     --- GoldED+/W64-MSVC 1.1.5-b20180707        * Origin: Ham Radio operators do it with frequency!
