Hey Tony!

 TL> things like "IBM PC and "IBM PC 8 bit"

7-bit and 8-bit character sets.  ASCII is and always was a 7-bit character set.
 The date I see for it is October 6, 1960.  That is well before IBM had a
chance to claim any of it's encodings were/are ASCII anything.

 TL> The IBM PC would be 36 this year.

Bah!  Just a punk.

Life is good,
Maurice
