- Are you kidding? I still have calouses on my fingers from pounding away on
- the keyboard of my Atari 800 to get 5,000 lines of DATA statements entered.
- Remember the old checksum programs the mags had to check your typing? <groan>

- Even further back, anyone remember the 8-bit version of NAVAL BATTLE that was
- on one of the Antic disks? I did both the Antic 8-bit and Start ST versions, but
- the 8-bit was my favorite. Custom character sets, VBI's for more colors,
- background music... all in <48K. Those _were_ the days! :)
