Re: It is a very simple idea

And that's exactly what I did... afterwards. It was 1980. It was a minicomputer. I was 24; it was one of those 'Hey, Tim, you're going to school for computers - set us up a computer'. So I looked on the Internet for advice, and there was nothing there! :)

There were no 'operators' - there was me. And I lost my place.

I'd have killed for two removables. A few years later we got 1/2" tape, and I thought I was in heaven.
