Kid mentioned it earlier, but it is weird watching shows on History channel, Discovery, etc. about systems I was debriefed on... Got a laugh teaching ASCII code when I mentioned to the younger generation in my class about something called a "teletype". Great times, great people, wouldn't trade it for the world. [:)]
