Re: B. B. Mackey Books is 25 Years Old this month!

Congratulations Betty, and here's to another 25.

Yes, I remember the Commodore 64. I used to sell them! And the
short-lived, pocket-sized Sinclair. 64K of memory was considered huge
brainpower. The Sinclair could be upgraded to 128K. How did we ever get
along without 8 Gigabytes?! The daisy wheel printers had a 25lb. lead
plate in the bottom to keep them from "walking" off the printer stand,
but I bet they weren't OSHA-compliant.

Regards,
Lois
