When is the last time we have a windows 2000 question on this list?
For the sake of the thread I would like to point out that my first computer
was a Tandy 2000, it had a modem of some sort. I through the thing away
about 10 years ago and when I through it away I was amazed that it had a
modem. Tell me this you old timers, why the heck would a computer that old
have a modem. Were BBSs around in the early 80s, or was my dad doing some
secret thing in the Navy he never told me about. I've been learning a lot
about him in the Navy now that he is getting old.

OK, I changed the subject line...
First I said:
> Gee, now I'm gonna have to walk out to the garage and fire up the

> Used to love making and watching those pictures. BTW, I still do make
> a TTY calendar almost every year - fully edited on paper tape too.
Then "Greg Reese" <GReese@...> said:

Then "Charles R. Buchanan" <crbgfblab@...> replied:

I used one in college. I also carried a slide rule on my belt (and knew how
to use it) right next to a ham radio, wore thick glasses, and was
overweight. So, am I a Nerd? Oddly I did not own a computer until almost a
decade later when Commodore came out with the Amiga, and did not buy an "IBM
compatible" PC until 1998.
