Diskettes
I had a package of 25 diskettes I bought last July. They sat for a long time without me checking them out. When I finally got around to trying them I had several of them that I couldn’t use. I…
Another No Slot Clock
Last night I ordered another No Slot Clock chip for my Apple //e. I had planned to buy one last fall when I got one and tried it out on my Apple //c. This one was about 65 cents cheaper…

Pascal Progress
One of the benefits of having worked with Pascal before is it comes back to you. I have worked through the basics of the program structure, constants, variables and creating formulas. I’ve also worked through getting input, writing output and…

Backups? Nope! (Part 1)
