Working on the XT was outstanding, exciting, making your heart thump ... even if I could not understand why would you have files and folders (Z80 background) Re: highschool? what computers were around when you were in HS? Antti Keskinen13-Jul-05 19:46 Antti Keskinen 13-Jul-05 19:46  I'm still rather young, so we had full-blown Pentium 2 Pro computers with all the flavors.. Too bad that very often we ended up playing Quake because the lessons weren't very interesting (due to us knowing so lot, and the teacher being a complete laugh in programming) -Antti Keskinen ---------------------------------------------- "If we wrote a report stating we saw a jet fighter with a howitzer, who's going to believe us ?" -- R.A.F. pilot quote on seeing a Me 262 armed with a 50mm Mauser cannon.

At home I got a handed down VIC-20 from my uncle, then later got a C=64 and got proficient in BASIC (fun fact: the BASIC interpreter was written by MS). --Mike-- Visual C++ MVP LINKS~!

Then again, I was born in Ireland and we have inherited most of these things from when we were under English rule. My girlfriend is from Germany and she says that over there it is generally the other way around so maybe mainland Europe is different.
