Welcome Kundu to the triangle. If it is stll palying run over to the Thompson (it is on campus is you do not know) and see "Dinner at eight" it is pretty funny.

but it's just not the 8-bit kind, and does not seem very practical to me...
Yes, indeed. A while ago, I saw a book costing many bucks named "techniques for small computer systems" (my emphasis). Fortunately another employee here was attending Duke and got the book from the library. I opened the book and the first chapter was something like "how to get by with 16Mbytes of memory". Needless to say I did not buy the book.

Welcome again,

Erik
