Yep. Still use my C-64 for certain things.

I can imagine some musicians, scrolling thorough menu after menu on some

Sorry for your troubles Paul. We ALL appreciate your efforts. Turn the
computer switch to the OFF position and go have a great vacation. We will
all be here dreaming up endless new modules for you to build while you are
gone.
