Well, true... But some of the older computers can't even get a little hard drive. All they've got is a floppy drive, and floppies just won't do when you're trying to REM an EXTERNAL and then LINK in a REPEAT. With a floppy, you're lucky if you can just PLAY or RUN, and most likely your system will just hang anyway. If all you have is just a floppy drive, I think you just have to @ASK() yourself IF it's worth looking for an @MATCH(), ELSE you should SEEK some @INPUT() from a doctor about some INFO on upgrading to a new STYLE. But you know, even with a big hard drive, you have to be very careful, because you never know what will POPUP @NEXT() WHILE you're trying to upload through the data stream. In the END, all you can hope is that everything will be @OK().

Garrett,

Very clever. However, I think you gave us a little too much personal
information Smile

. My condolences on your "FLOPPY" disc. Have you
tried a signal booster I believe they are available @ Viagra.com.

I know what you mean about the older computers, I hate to
brag, but it seems like yesterday I was using 9 inch floppy discs.

Very Happy

Not part of the joke here, but I remember using 12 Inch floppies on one computer when I was in the Army.

I don't know whether they used electricity or just cranked it, but I think that Garrett's computer is here:
