Hehe.  My teeth were cut on the 1130 (instead of being a desktop, it _was_ the
desk).  But that was when Bill Gates was just learning how to program a
different kind of processor, so you'd have to say it wasn't quite
state-of-the-art by then.

When you finally get cvs running you'll find a nice selection and a couple new
3d cockpits (c310 and A4).  Both done in a nice "Navy" motif btw :-)

Same here, only I got the C-64 because it was cheaper and all I really wanted
was the FS.  IIRC I did play with a couple others (text based) on various
other systems before that...but FS was a huge leap forward at the time.

If not for "delusions of grandeur" we'd all be doing our math on abaci. There
has been quite a bit of multi-user/networking work done that I haven't been
following closely myself (more updates recently?).  But AFAIK there hasn't
been anything yet in the helo department (would be a great addition).

Welcome to the project and thank you for the interesting intro!

Best,

Jim Wilson
