      What is this newfangled "CD" of which you speak? Is it anything like a 5¼" floppy? :-D

              I'm old enough to remember seeing the original "[Lee Iacocca](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lee\_Iacocca) is an autoexec" being used in signatures. (for a timeframe reference, he retired in 1992).

                  Double fun for me since (1) I'm old enough to get the joke and (2) my house is old, so we get bats inside(*) late every summer. (*) They sneak in via our screened-in porch. I get to catch them and release them outside, usually at 2:00 a.m. after being woke up by SWMBO.

                    If you can keep your head while those about you are losing theirs, perhaps you don't understand the situation.

                                in 83 I had a cpm system running at 4Mhz with an 8" floppy, But also a 10 MEGA BYTE external hard drive, with removable platters. Luxury. The rest of the system was crap. Filled up my car if I took it home to work. Ah. The good old days. ASM all the way.

                                    At least we no longer have to worry about kinky hard drives that insist on a master slave relationships...

                                      Floppy? I had a teletype with punched tape.

                                      I learned my first BASIC using one of those - located in the school's bomb shelter: Huge room with concrete walls, floor and ceiling. Just the right acoustics for a TTY! Down in my basement, I have still got a few of those paper tapes. (I also got a small pile of punch cards. As well as a core dump, in the physical sense: A frame with 1152 ferrite rings weaved together. I have no idea about the contents of those 1152 bits.)

                                        We had three teletypes in high school. Connected to a PDP-8 and PDP-12 at the university across town via acoustic coupler. One day someone dumped the hopper full of the holes from the punched tape all over the floor.
