 Oh I"m sure, I know there were some real advancements for the times , 
probably
primitive compared to the stuff these days but back then... the wow factor was 
something else. :)  Computer and processor speeds doubled every other year :)

 CS> Right! a 'cough' while typing into a batch file could cause ALOT of
 CS> issues in a large batch!  Been there done that

 hahahaha, voice of experience I can tell.  Yeah but when you run a board and

make
a typo and delete a whole database.... good think I had a recent backup. :)
