Hello Tony!

Oh I read the requirements already, I just want to get a feel for what
people actually have :-)
Some of us do, others don't. I like 1970's
minicomputers and early
workstations (PERQs, D-machines, etc). Mainly because I am a hardware
hacker and like to be able to clip a logic analyser onto the ALU outputs.
Other people here have more 'normal' interests and stick to micros :-)
Wow, "micros" :-) It will be fun being on a list that knows and uses
that word, along with the other classifications :-) Usually, "computer"
is sufficient on the lists I participate in!
FWIW, there are some very knowledgeable Apple ][ hackers here. And many
of us have at least one original IBM PC/XT/AT machine.
I admit, I don't really use my Apple //e for much. Occasionally, I
power it up to play a game of Moon Patrol :-) I used to program in Jr.
High, and High School, but have forgotten most that I learned,
unfortunately. Never got into ProDOS, either.
