Famine! Pestilence! Locusts for sure!

What an idiot.

Quite a run. I didn’t know Zilog was even still in existence under the same name, albeit part of a bigger company. Still remember learning assembler on a TRS-80 Model II with one of these in it.

Fraud in China. Huh.

The thing I remember is the thrill of realizing how.much.stuff. was out there (even though by current standards it was tiny). There was a repository hosted by WUSTL.EDU that had a ton of software source code, binaries and other stuff; you could submit requests to it by e-mail and back would come your files uuencoded, split across multiple e-mail messages. You had to cobble the pieces back together before you could decode it.
