Then, I had 32K ram! (Are you sure you > didn't mean 512K RAM?) No, 512 Byte. Here's one similar : http://www.computermuseum-mannheim.de/images/pic_g/siemens_8080_1g.jpg The thing had to be programmed in Assembler using a hex keyboard. My dad worked at a lab at Siemens and brought one of these things home, along with my first two computer books : "Binäre Algebra" and "Logische Schaltkreise" (logical circuits). My first program were flowcharts on paper that I had to convert to hex code and poke into the computer. Folks who say the Linux command line isn't comfortable don't know what they're talking about :o)
