Today's computer generation probably thinks you had a stroke while typing your post.
Raise your glass to a simpler time...

Man you are old like ME! I have nothing but fond memories of Commodore and even Jack. I as a store manager of a store selling PET computers at the time ordered over 1,000 C64 computer when they came out. The store owner thought I had lost my mind. I sold them all in 2 weeks.
The Amiga is still a most remarkable computer. A real tech leader ...

Carl Sassenrath recently sold his original prototype Amiga hardware...should have bought it.
He showed the world the first multitasking operating system.
I for one was amazed when i first ran two programs at the same time. Today kids don't even know what a multitasking OS is. They think Java is the OS.
Carl's thing since the Amiga has been the Rebol programming language.
The first cs 100 class should now and forever be Assembler. Only then will nimble young minds know the real power of abstraction.
