[quote name=\'rigsby\' date=\'Jan 14 2005, 05:15 PM\']Not only did I have a VIC-20 (never got any expanded memory for it, either) with the Datasette, I still, if I can find it, have a cassette on which I, once upon a time, recorded a really cheap version of PYL I wrote using a random number generator...

I remember writing a coin flip program using the TI-99/4A's 'random' number generator, although this was before I knew what "pseudorandom" meant.

I also wrote a program to simulate a WOF wheel, although instead of a wheel, it was a line of dollar values in which the pointer would go off the right side of the screen and return on the left side. You had to provide the puzzles yourself. :-)

But Chris, wouldn't it be 50 cents for 1 GB rather than 500 MB?

That's what I got. About a year ago someone walked by a HD display at Fry's Electronices and remarked, "Look at that -- a dollar a gig." Now it's half.

Yeah, you guys are right. I can't even plead early in the morning for screwing up the math. I just plain botched it.

Makes my point all the more vivid, though.
