MODULE 1 - Star Wars
.
Thanks John Warren ! ! ! Finally got my Telnet to show me Star Wars. I have to confess that there was nothing wrong with the program, it was the user!
.
Watching blinkenlights made me wonder how long took to put it all together, reminded me so much of DOS (which I hated). It also makes me appreciate our fantastic graphics and sounds and the minds that create them!
.
I remember when the 1st PC's entered Aussie homes, my friend Marina was the first person I knew who had one, our favourite game was "Jones In The Fast Lane" and we went ape over the fabulous new colour graphics, lol.
.
Technology is a fascinating thing, I mean who thinks up these things?!?!? Makes me want to do some research and find out where it all began but would that be possible? Would anyone know where it all started? WOW! Imagine how amazing it must have been to see your work up and running for the first time. Must be magical.
