Heh... I just like to have fun with people now and then.

One thing I'm curious about is that you said that Microsoft ported to the
PDP-11 first, and I thought it was the Z8001.

I've seen it both says.  I'm inclined to believe they did the PDP first, but
that's partly based on it probably being the easiest.

I really miss those days except for one thing: I never could afford the
really
cool stuff.

Now I can have all I want within reason, and no one cares... ;)
