[Walter Hansen]

I probably still have some of those posters arround or copies of them. And
the real big thing about Copy ][ Plus wasn't that it copied disks, but the
disk editor. I've got a ][e with a meg or two of memory also. I should set
up a ][e in the store and charge by the hour. Remember Lode runner. We
were always trying to make really difficult levels. What was it call -151
to get into the system monitor from the prompt?
