I was going through another box of my dad's papers today, and found a DECWriter listing of probably my first non-trivial program circa 1976, an expansion of the old BASIC HAMMURABI game. I had thought that was long lost.

I lost nearly all of my early code because I put it on a magtape which turned out to be unreadable.


So many opportunities to become a billionaire I missed!

America is not only the land of opportunity, it's the land of blind fools.


That, and the opportunities of even the opportunistic can be lackluster - c'est la vie I suppose!
