The Golden Age of Computing

This now takes 10 minutes to do using photoshop ... even a year ago it took about 1000 times longer.

This weekend I got a Commodore 64 emulator going on my Linux box.

Oh, the memories just came flooding back!

It's great to think back to a time when computing was a lot more fun; and was a very unique past-time.

The time of 300 baud modems and BBS sub-cultures. Seeing how much power you could squeeze out of each bit of memory a computer had back then. And the fun of trading C=64 games on 5-1/4" floppies and cassette tapes.

Them were the days!

With the evolution of the graphics since a couple of years I think there is a place,still, for sqeezzing bit.
