And the obligatory picture:
(Well, it's not showing up inline, but it's showing up.)
That's a pass!
Thanks for the tips, folks.

Before the Tandy 2000 was the Tomy Tutor (Radio Shack). My first program was written on a TRS-80 when I was 6. My brother tought me how to write a FOR..NEXT loop and display numbers from 1 to 10000. Wow how times have changed :D

My first computer was a hand-me-down TRS-80. (My FIL at the time got an IBM so he gave me his old box.) I could never get the cassette tape storage to work (or the optional external floppy drive), so any program I wrote was lost if I powered down the computer. This, of course, ticked me off, so I wrote an endless FOR..NEXT loop that displayed a count from 1 to a million, then back to 1. I looked at it as torture for the dumb computer. Like it really cared. ;)Quote:

That's called a favicon. My guess is that Aaron has been noodling around.Quote:
