New subject: IMLAC PDS-1 WebShrine 1.0

2 Nov 1998

O.K.  At least Now I know how to program.  Not to get that annoying bar out
of there.  

Iven if it is sort of a pain to program, it's still a neat little computer.
 Looks sort of like a mini CoCo 1.

Does anyone know what the "ear" and "mic" jacks are for (I know what
they're for, I just want to know WHY they're there).  It's the only BASIC
machine I've seen with a MIC plug.  Or is it to connect a tape deck to?

 As I remember, the editor automatically switches modes for you, i.e.,
 having entered PRINT, it goes to character mode. At least on the Spectrum +
...
  (pulls up emulator), this is what happens. (Assume [X]
represents a cursor
...
  showing letter X.)

  The keywords thing is maddening, one of the quirks
that rapidly turned me
 off the Sinclairs. However, they are still fun little things to play with,

  even if I get a lot more practical stuff done with my
Commodore 128.
