Very nice. The music went well with the essay.

A Nibbler is me!

I totally typed that program in too... wow...

...with the checksums every line to let you know that you'd typed it in right. Or was that only with the assembly code?

That's great!! It's pretty impossible to know nowadays which folks in the local geekscape used the same off-brand computers as you, way back when.

I have no idea about the checksums. I just typed in the text with out any understanding of its meaning, and so remember almost nothing about it.

this is cool. I had not had a chance to check this out until now. I liked missile command as well.

Good concept, and good execution.

perhaps you should submit this to some podcast directories...

Thank you. Yes, I should. It's on iTunes but I didn't make an effort to make a graphic or anything yet.

Now that I have three I should see about promoting it. I'll ask Andy how that works.

I liked this and forgot to say so.

I thought there were a couple of points where the music swamped your voice slightly but that's quite nitpicky. The choice of music seemed very appropriate.
