     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. :)
