WOW! Another oldster! Well then you remember how excited we all were to finally get Fortran II? No sooner did we get good at that than COBOL came out.

Ah, the good old days. Never a problem with sourcing confetti in those days, huh.....

I ran across a box of old computer stuff the other day. An IBM Computer. Then another one, it's replacement, an IBM AT. Think both were 286 chips. One each. Hard drive maybe 256K?

My first 'laptop' was in there too. 64K hard drive.

Wonder if there's a market for these relics?
