Traditional too. What sort of hat, anyway? :-)

I would have put my name down for a Master. I'd like a Master, but - 
hell - sneaking anything with a keyboard past mom would be a challenge. 
:-( She doesn't understand why anybody would even want a dozen computers...


Mmmm... I think I have two Electrons someplace. Might even have the 
power supplies.


Master Compact is cute, we used them at school, but they're somewhat 
lacking in the I/O department. Not to mention weird NVRAM EEPROM jobbie 
with a really short lifespan. Not so good in an education environment to 
think something like the following could mess up the computer:
   10 *Configure Delay 1
   20 *Configure Repeat 1
   40 *Configure Hard
   30 *Configure File 15
   50 *Configure NoBoot
   60 *Configure Mode 128
   70 REPEAT
   80   *Configure Lang 15
   90 UNTIL 0


Best wishes,

Rick.
