There were discussions on the list years ago about programs being sent out over the radio as in the UK so you would plug your radio output into your computer's cassette input to receive the program: mass software distribution! There was also a discussion about bouncing signals off the moon to create a delay-line memory of sort. What if we were to preserve software by encoding it as audio and bouncing it off the moon? I figure we could probably save a few old programs that way :) -- Sellam Ismail Vintage Computer Festival ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ International Man of Intrigue and Danger http://www.vintage.org [ Old computing resources for business || Buy/Sell/Trade Vintage Computers ] [ and academia at www.VintageTech.com || at http://marketplace.vintage.org ]
