On Wed, 4 Apr 2001,Dasko, Dan scribbled on the wall in glitter crayon:

->In 1982ish, Dad brought home a used TRS-80 mod III with 16k ram and a tape

all you youngsters! i started programming in 1968 [yes i *am* that old, yes we *did* to have computers back then.;-)] first project was a payroll system on an IBM 360/20 with 4K [yes that's K not M.] of core memory all on cards written in assembler. then i took a step backwards and did some autocoder on an IBM 1440.

now if i can just remember why i'm still here and didn't take that job as a javalin catcher.;-)

You gotta program like you don't need the money,
You gotta compile like you'll never get hurt,
You gotta run like there's nobody watching,
It's gotta come from the heart if you want it to work.

Computer programmers do it byte by byte.
