Indeed! You have been helpful and encouraging on many occasions over the last few years, and I thank you.

@Checker:
Wow. That reminds me of the first computer my family had. I don't know the name or model but it was a silver box about the size of a VCR. You had to plug it into a TV and all the data was stored on cassette tapes! I was too young to do much with it but my family would tinker with it a lot. I remember playing a game on it called Zaxxon. Ahh, good times.

@Checker
Ah thanks for the memory
Those PETs were great machines
I never owned one but I had one on loan and it was brilliant,
games writing most of the night after COBOLing all day.
If you still have one it must be a dilemma of keeping the fun
or selling for a fortune

• Probably an ATARI. (Or a BBC Micro or TRS-80, although on these two the game wasn't called Zaxxon)...
