Assembly huh? I have a brother that loves assembly. He hates having to use a higher level programming language. He made an admiring statement about VB one time - he said it was amazing MS had created something a trained chimp could use! Originally Posted by Cold Irons

I still have a Taihaho 300 baud modem somewhere. Oh yes, blazing the trail folks..
As it goes, the data modem in my Kenwood D700 Ham Radio is blazing at 1200.. The more things change the more they stay the same..
My grandfather is also a ham and he's 87. He had Dish HD before I did and does video editing. Weird how that works.
