>>>In my day, we didn't have mouses to move the danged cursor around. We only had the arrows, and if the up arrow was broken and you needed to get to the top of the screen, well you just hit the left arrow a thousand times, dadgummit!

>>Am I older than you? I hade more than one computer before I got computer with a keyboard with a seperate set of arrow keys. In my days, we had to remember a lot of CTRL-combinations. For instance the "star" to move around in Wordstar, was it CTRL+ESDX or CTRL+RDFC, I don't remember anymore.

>I had version 0.92 of WordStar (8” floppy) on my IMSAI S-100 CP/M machine. There were two files and I could do everything I needed to do. There was NO paper clip to tell me what it thought I wanted to do. 64k of RAM was all I needed.

My first computer was a TRS-80 clone with two 8" floppies with the stunning capasity of 360K on each of them. The computer came with 48K, but I upgraded to 64K on my next pay day. With 64K of RAM, one floppy for the TRS-DOS, and one floppy for data, who could ever need more capasity? I also saved a few months and bought a lightening fast 300 BAUD modem, I was in heaven. After even a few months, I exchanged my green-and-black monitor into my first 12" "color" monitor (brown-and-yellow....)!

Honestly, I still miss Frogger!
