[Klug-general] How old are we?

[Adam Buckland]

It’s a 6809, a wonderfully symmetrical CPU down to the BRN branch never command to map against BRA branch always.
My final year project was an assembler / emulator and debugger for the MS6502 with the interface based on that of the RML 380Z I first learned to use CP/M etc.

Vista is a wonderful way to get to see all the new error messages but in slow motion compared to Win95, it won't support my Apple Keyboard properly (yet) and my VPN software takes it into a deadly embrace with the security enhancements.

Nostalgia isn’t what it used to be…

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 like instructing the daisys when to rise ;) "It kind of makes you feel like God" is a quote the comes to mind.



Apple ]['s rocked then but no one could afford them
so we went to lust after them in Tottenham Court Road and crash all the
Commadore PETS with a simple SYS command that had been published in
Computing Today...

</Reminisce>


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.

K,

Macs were rubbish then, i have 3 in my room here: a 7200/90 a 7100/80 
and a 8600/200 server. The Acorn Archimedies and BBC Micro were far
better.

Well seeing as how you asked, I shall be 65 in April. I've just applied 
for me pension.

That doesn't disqualify me does it?
