That is a cool story. I wish I new about that aspect of the computing
hobby, but the internet was not around. The coolest thing that I saw
as a kid was a C64 doing satellite pass predictions. Everything was
DOS around here, and did not know about Linux until 1999 in college
by a student that was not even in the physics department. He was a
med student.
