Boy that is going back a ways. I remember reading somewhere that the average cell phone has more memory than the computers used in the Apollo spacecraft.

Yep. Actually my FIRST thoughts of having my own computer hit home when I got my very first issue of BYTE magazine (which I still have, btw) showing the Altair 8800 (http://oldcomputers.net/altair.html). That was about the same time (1975) I first started working with computers with a little shop making small systems for small businesses. Started out putting the tables together for these computers but soon progressed to repairing the circuit boards to the component level.

Actually, I have pretty much the complete set of BYTE magazine that Connie has been "urging" me to get rid of. Probably put them up on Ebay one of these days. I've seen that first issue sell for a pretty decent penny.

Interestingly enough (not really) the first programming I actually did was with that Exidy Sorcerer I got. The ONLY programming available was Z80 Assembler, so that's what I played around with. Come to find out that it served me well pretty quickly, because when I got a floppy disk add on for that system, it didn't work, so when I took a look at the code itself, I called the guy I got it from and pointed out that his routine to write to the drive was actually calling the video write routine. Obviously he had never TESTED the thing before sending it out. And that sort of crap holds true even today....

The site seems to be much faster since you swapped to another hosting site.

Yeah, it does. Sometimes it pays to be a squeaky hinge....

Does this site seem SLOW to anyone else lately? Last couple of days it's been rather painful trying to get the site to pop up on my browser. Sometimes taking over 30 seconds before it displays the main page.....

Most web pages seem to be loading slowly on my browser recently. I chalked it up to the inclement weather.

To be honest Rich, I have not had a problem getting the site to pop up. But since I bought a new computer, everything runs much quicker for me than it used to.
