    Reminds me, had a boss back then and EVERY time he used the computer he would ask all the girls in the office "would you like to see my 8" floppy" what a twat.

    Compared to you oh green one we are all but babes.

        I used to play advent on a PDP-11 or something... used a viewer to find the debug tool command: GDT. Enabled you to go to all the rooms. Still got stuck on a couple of levels before I left school...
