No problem, I just must have missed Zork, however I did start out
on a version of Star Trek which was text only and I had to program
into the home built computer using a series of eight toggle switches
for each command (which had to be done each time you wanted to play).
Talk about dedication, took me 20 minutes each time since there were
about 80 commands to program in using the toggles :-). Nice side
track btw, :-). Sorry everybody.

Karen (btw, I was about 11)
