Greetings Ed!   
      
    EV>> If I was typing in a PRG from a Magazine I periodically Saved what   
    EV>> I was doing in case my A.C. Power was interupted.   
      
    RW>> Heh! Been there, done that, only it was on my TI994a...   
      
    EV> Before I bought the C=64, I would play with the different PC's in the   
    EV> stores, One thing I remember is for a minute or two I couldn't get a   
    EV> TI99/4a to even print my name until I tried first pressing the   
    EV> Function Key and pressing the P key and lo and behold I saw the word   
    EV> PRINT appear on the screen.      
      
   Getting the TI to do anything required more than pressing a key. It either   
   needed a program cartridge inserted and waiting for it to load, then doing   
   something to make it respond to your input. It was something like the   
   MACs of the day, requiring more money than brains to use.   
      
      
       Have a day!

   Being judged by McJerkey doesn't define who I am, it defines who he is.
