I was setting up my C64 next to my PC one day and a "geek" mad the comment
"Oh you can hookup the 64 to the PCs video switchbox"... Is it that hard to
belive that a computer could possibly output something *other* then VGA
for its vidoe?!? Grrrrrr....
OK. I guess I gotta come clean now. I'm actually a West Texas
roughneck, incognito. When I first started seeing ads for "Pentium", I
thought it was a computer *game*. The first time I ever sat at a
keyboard was mid-95. I just happen to believe that no matter what it is
you do, knowing how "it" came to be is important.
Plus, of course, I really enjoy having the only <insert-whatever-here>
around.
