In order to get him to upgrad his OS, we'd need to upgrade his computer
first, like from an old Abacus to maybe a blazing fast and new TRS80.

That's right Tommy.
His full name is William (Bill) H. Gates.
Not sure what the H stands for though.

My name's been Bill for 32 years now and every other person I've ever
know that was named Bill proper name is actually William.
Just a little tidbit. Not that anyone really cares. Just thought I'd mention it.

Whew. There's a time warp for you. I had my Atari 800 set up on a card table in the corner of the dining room . Many hours spent staring at a screen just like the above. Somehow fun to see those old things.
Thanks for the memories ... |
