Grumpy28679yThanks for the kind words, @Letmecode! I consider myself lucky to have experienced the time when micro computer tech was still a bit rough. That way, I could experience the shift from pioneers building small series computers, to the more polished devices we have today.
I suppose that makes it easier to appreciate, and get inspired by, anything new and rough that shows up on the horizon.
