That's really funny, Dale. That brings back memories (and more than 5K of them!). My dad gave me a VIC-20 when I was in college and I used it for several years. I wrote lots of BASIC apps to ease all the ciphering I had to do for enzyme kinetics, chemistry labs and things like that. I had a cassette tape which was slow but it was a heck of a lot faster than typing in your program every time! -- Bill Longman
