I know the feeling... I learned originally with a Tandy... I remember when
the 31/2 inch disk drives became a big thing, and most of the stuff that I
know about compys today was learned on machines with no Hard Drive, and had
to have a boot disk, and everything was loaded in when you wanted to use it...

Oh well... To make this somewhat Shadowrunny...

Do your deckers ever have nostalgic idosyncracies with their decks, or whatever?

I know Bull, my Ork Decker, still uses the case from his Allegiance Alpha
(The deck that he started with), although the internal components now make a
Fairlight look like a Radio Shack...:)

Well, I'm not too worried about it getting stolen... An Ork carrying around
an Alegiance Alpha usually *really* throws off peoples perceptions... After
all, If he's an ork, he must be dumb... Threfore he can't be a very good
decker, and therefore he can't have a good deck...

Fun, huh?
