Well, I don't know about that! I'm only 23-years old, and the day's of
8" floppy's were in my infantancy[sp]! I did own a Comodore 128 with the
CP/M OS though, and TPA was referenced many times in the documentation.
I do long for the days where everyone had a "simple" interface to the
OS. It would be great if Windows, Windows NT, etc, had such a simple
interface...
