That old 'couldn't procure a whore in a brothel' problem (alt. party in a brewery) those forces boys seem to run into.

Mind you, reminds me I saw some battlefield simulation graphics/gaming stuff twenty years ago ish which has only recently been surpassed in quality in the commercial market. Tanks, helis etc all buzzing around. This was about the time when golfballs were still around - LOL - and P.C.'s were not much more than a simple calculator.

Not sure how big the old mainframe that was running it all was, but my guess is that all of us put together would not have been able to carry it!

 

golf balls are still around.

Are you referring to thos epimply things that you hit with funny looking sticks, or an old fashioned typewriter?

If there are gb writers around anymore does anyone make the ribbons for them? Do I care. Not really. Just that I worked for IBM just about the time pcs were taking over from the clickety clacketys. Boy were those old green on balck screens fun!
