I never want to see a DEC or ADAM-3 terminal again. >I like what I have now and I never want to go back. So there ;-) LOL!!! I am bored of what I have now, and want to get a taste of what came before :) I am 18, and unfortunately, my entire life has been microchips, miniaturization, microcomputers, smaller smaller smaller, faster and less fun for someone with a soldering iron and a bucket of components. I want something big, something that hurts me if I drop it on my foot, something that reads a medium that I can manually edit, something that flashes lights and lets me know it is working! I find modern computers great for computing but horrible for experimenting. I have to tip-toe around a modern OS chewing on 24 megabytes of RAM, and I can't do anything stupid like divide by 0 without the OS going crazy, crashing and taking a month to reboot just so that I can divide by 0 again. - Keelan Lightfoot
