Totally off subject...But I had a TRS 80 Color Computer 2. I wrote so many programs in basic back in elementary school. I had a cassette deck to save my programs on. I wrote a program that made it look like I hacked into the FBI, then ahd my friends come over and help me guess a password. If we were wrong (Which the program was written so we were ALWAYS wrong) the screen would flash Blue and Red and have a siren noise.
Those were the days.....Visual basic is for pansies. Write a program for a computer with NO operating system, that's hard
core! LOL!
