August 12, 1981 at a news conference in NY, IBM introduced the PC. 40 years ago. Holy cow. I think I was still using my VIC-20 then.

Since I have one, I should wish it a Happy Birth Day. Those were good times. I mean how could ever fill up a 5M Mountain HD? ;-) They did make a great reef. I can't recall how fast we migrated to DOS 2.0 or the 10M full height hard disks. But we were busy for a few weeks at Middlesex County College. I still have nightmares about writing code in edlin. At least we figured out how to copy con: to a file. I think we could also copy from the serial port but that's long gone from my memory. -- Linux Home Automation Neil Cherry ncherry@linuxha.com http://www.linuxha.com/ Main site http://linuxha.blogspot.com/ My HA Blog Author of: Linux Smart Homes For Dummies
