    CS> My Dad kept up with all the 'new' stuff that came out due to his   
    CS> business/employment.  I got to look and play with a few, albiet for a   
    CS> short time, but that groomed me to my love of Tech!   
      
    Oh I"m sure, I know there were some real advancements for the times ,    
   probably   
   primitive compared to the stuff these days but back then... the wow factor was    
   something else. :)  Computer and processor speeds doubled every other year :)   
      
      
    GH>  Ah yes, the batch programming.. you really could automate a bunch of   
    GH> stuff with those batch scripts. Of course , one little glitch in the   
    GH> syntax and you could mess a bunch of stuff up as well. :)

    hahahaha, voice of experience I can tell.  Yeah but when you run a board and

   make   
   a typo and delete a whole database.... good think I had a recent backup. :)
