CLOCK-CALENDAR 128 SUPPORT

[BigDumbDinosaur]

To me, a computer is ancient only if it was in use before I was born.  That eliminates just about every computer ever built.

The only "ancient computer", in my opinion, is the abacus.  And they're still in wide use today in many parts of the world!

Well, despite my advanced age, declining eyesight and thinning scales, the abacus was invented before I was hatched, so I agree it would qualify as ancient.

Curious if anyone is using CC128 with their software and if so, how things are working.

Unfortunately, my health took a nosedive shortly after you got this and the 80-column driver completed. I haven't spent any actual face time with my C128 in well over a year.

I am now on disability (as of Jan 4th of this year) and with new medication and lots of rest I am feeling much better. Unfortunately, I've suffered a series of small strokes. I now walk with a cane and my hands shake a bit.

I'm currently sorting out my office, which has become very cluttered during this time. I did manage to find my C128 under a big pile, and I hope to get it running again soon.

I picked up a new power supply for it and my 1581 on eBay, and found out it really needs a fuse and fan to operate safely, so my first priority is a hardware project. But I really hope to have a chance to experiment with these programs before I croak.

Here's to a 2010 with your health problems stabilized or improved!

That are really bad news. I hope you will regain your health.

It figures.  First I get sick and then finally well enough to complete the software, at which time you get sick and can't play with the software.

Urk!!!

You are not allowed to croak!  That's Kermit's job.
