When I was about 12 or so, my dad gave me his old TRS-80 computer. Before
disk drives, it had one of those great tape drives that you had to play
screeching loud to load programs, monochrome graphics... It was so much fun,
I'm working on a modern version of one of the adventure games that I played
on it. Wonder where it's gotten to now?
