[Elecraft] Computers in the Stone Age

[EricJ]

Finally, some sanity in this thread! I had colorFORTH on a TRS-80 Color 
Computer (chiclets keyboard). Wrote a RTTY send/receive program during 
evenings in the hotel over a 3 day weekend exhibiting at a motorcycle 
show in Cincinnati as a way to learn FORTH. When I hear the Linux 
fanboys bragging about the control they have, I have to smile.

Plus, most of the CP/M-UG and SIG/M-UG disks.  I also have an Altair 8800 and an Altair 8800 "Turnkey" (no front panel), along with several other S-100 cards.  The Altair ran one of the first bulletin boards in the country (Ward Christensen CBBS) for AMRAD.  I also have my first 5-slot IBM PC, and many versions of DOS.
