That's crazy. Reminds me of the old days of BBS's. Man, to me, those text based games back then were still the most fun games of all time. Solar Realms Elite RULED!

Glenn, can I ask where you came upon that link?
I didn't follow it before, because I knew what it was... but I just saw it get posted on another sign forum a few minutes ago, and saw that it was a youtube link, so I checked the date & was surprised to see March '08.
The first time I saw it, yesterday morning, was when another signguy posted it on his facebook page. That link went to a TechCrunch blog post that was dated yesterday & has 168 replies already... which seems possibly related to the fact that it was on the news last night...
...so that's why I was surprised that the youtube link is close to a year old. This viral marketing through the social networking channels is pretty amazing stuff, so I thought I'd ask where you ran across the link out of curiosity.

Ernie built his first computer in 1978. He soldered the circuit boards. It cost $1700 for the kit, plus a monitor and a tape recorder. That was before floppy drives and hard drives. The computer also had toggle switches on the front that you had to flip. The first "floppy" discs were 8" across and were floppy.
