hi again! We'll let Ictoan translate for us. i understand some of what you said.

Hi lil

Hello sweetheart

how are you?

I am doing okay, love.


How are things with you? It's good to have you back online

not too badly, i shall be updating my PS sometime soon, or at least that is the plan

I like messing about in my PS.. finding new things to add


Been a while since I last did it

Morning!Ah; dont take any notice i know nothing-just had a bit of a stutter .

Icty will know what i was talking about i should think-its all common knowledge -just a bit ancient: quite intresting if you wanted to know how Microsoft-made there name aswell though. I am no techie as Lil said, i am a total novice.

My PS is updated and full of spelling mistakes which I will be correcting soon, hopefully!

Hi. I didn't spot any spelling mistakes-but i saw Dracula-great book : i really enjoyed it; Frankenstein is similar and equally good.

>>i kinda did a Lil and pressed the wrong button<<


It's so easy to do!


lil xx

wondered if you would see that bit i was going to put a winkeye in there (on my ps) but it didn't really like it. Ill try again later

*giggles*


It looks fine as it stands

Probably just me trying to be perfect then First time for everything!

re: CP/M stuff - I seem to recall that the CP/M machines I used (the old Amstrad CPC and PCWs plus something ancient called a 'Torch' which I think was a hackabout BBC B) played tricks with assembler.
As I recall they all used 8080 instruction set and then compiled that to the underlying chipset. But it was a long time ago!

I remember Logo! There was another one like it wasn't there? Can't remember it though. Ah the hours of writing Logo script to draw pretty fractal trees

We also had a LISP interpreter on one of the school machines, not that we did that much with it. Whenever it did an error dump you'd get about 50 pages flash up the screen with no line breaks or anything. Not easy to debug!

while you are online Ictoan can you recommend a good basic programming language to learn?

BASIC

I'd best come back to that tomorrow for a serious answer as I'm off home shortly.

Evening Ictoan

Yes, i thought you might probably know what i was on about, yes thats where i'm starting from: an old pcw with a pretty green screen.

See you tomorrow maybe.
