Slightly OT

heeh I used to do D&D myself, played some Magic Cards back when it first
started (had complete all first 4 years series of cards, sold them for a
good profit to new comer :))

computers.. humm started back in 79 with a TRS-80 Model 1, then a Model 3
and then 4/4p.. grin...

when I moved to the USA I dropped the 2 working computers, 5 boxes of 5.25"
disks , all manuals, a line printer and a 15" daisy printer on the corner of
the street.... it took 15 mins, the guy across the street looked at me and
said.. still works..? yeah sure did up to last week... now I am leaving it
there, it all works.. want it take it away... was funny to see the guy lug a
65 pds line printer 3 floors in a tight round upwards (like a corkscrew)
staircase to his appt.

funny thing, I did an ebay search for TRS-80... was 60 auctions..lol

=>I played D & D when I was a kid, too (A very rare breed - the

=>Atari2600, Amiga, etc.) And how many still bust out and use that vintage
