That be a rockwell 6809 or motorolla? Those old 8bit chips were a hoot,
I remember working with a 6502 in hex, this was beyond fun, this was

When I was of crashing display machines age windows 95 had just been
released, most of the time it was purely accidental. 

**looks at a win95 box** 
**clicks the mouse on start**
A FATAL ERROR EXCEPTION 0E HAS OCCURRED PLEASE PRESS CTRL-ALT-DEL TO
RESTART THE COMPUTER

How times have changed ;) Now the windows crash report is so fast you
don't even get a chance to see what failed.
