I have 11 Nascoms, all working, and all with ZEAP :o) will probably be with me forever. My first ever computer was a TransTec, if anybody remembers them, huge green/grey. It was in a box at collage. The owner had lost his temper with it and threw it out of the third floor window, i was very lucky the neck on the tube hadn't smashed. But i got it up and running. Has anybody here in England seen the recent advert where two people were staring at a green computer screen, onto which was very very very slowly being drawn a frog or something similar, and the guy shouts, blinding,,,,, this is gonna catch on. Well i remember the days :o) -----Original Message----- From: John Ferrell [mailto:johnferrell@EARTHLINK.NET] Sent: 23 December 2003 1:59:pm To: PICLIST@MITVMA.MIT.EDU Subject: Re: RE : [OT:] - How many computers we own.
