Nice ...old school for sure. Don't have one of those, but was
a fan of Heathkit back then. 8-Bit H-8, H-89, Z-80 CPU 2-Mhz
or 4Mhz, Trionyx H-8, Hard Sector SS disks, Benton Harbor Basic,
H-Dos, TTY ASR 33, Perf tape. Man days long ago. CPM, CPM-85,
CPM-86, CCPM, MPM. Ran a BBS back then using ZCPR-3 (OS) Bye,
PBBS, ran Fido mail, Hayes 1200 baud modem, Hayes Chrono for time
sync. Learned assembly Language, back then, still have most of it, 5.25"
disk drives, 8" disks, Corvus 20mb ext drive and the heath "boat anchor"
10 Mb hard-disk. Then the H-100, Compupro S-100 system..8/16 bit system.
Then expanded to crazyness, PCBoard 100 nodes, Dos & Desqview, Lantastic,
USR Robotics HST modems (a rack full) oh well blast from the past.. still like
the "C:\>" prompt, Move, Copy, Del, Ren, and all the batch files...
And just think if Gary Kildall meet with IBM instead of Bill Gates what the outcome
would of been.....thanks for the memories

I ran a FidoNet node and was a gateway for UseNet. Served on the first board of IFNA during it's brief effort to organize the chaos. Thanks for the memories!
Everything I had went here: https://museum.syssrc.com/
and by the way, no, I'm not all that happy that what was current when I was young is now in a museum.
