Apologies!
I realized that after I sent my post and couldn't figure out how to edit the 
post to at least add some on-topic content. I did, however, in my followup 
message (which was sent moments before I downloaded this one...).

I was just remembering back to when I borrowed a Commodore Plus 4 from a friend 
just to call local BBSes in the late 1980's. I don't remember much about it, 
but I believe the plastic case was about the size of my keyboard today and the 
same color - black.

My first non-Commodore PC was an 8/12 mHz IBM compatible with about 1 mb RAM. I 
don't remember whether or not it had a hard drive at first. The first hard 
drive that wasn't a hand-me-down was a 100 mb that cost about $350.00 circa 
1991. It wasn't MFM or RLL, but was IDE.

If memory serves correctly, I remember changing my HD controller from MFM to 
RLL and got more storage space, or something to that effect.


 SD> ... Gone crazy, be back later, please leave message.

For some of us, it is such a short trip...
