Hi.

I remember it too.  I had an IBM SXT with a CGA monitor and my biggest 
frustration with that machine (clocked at the breakneck speed of 4.77 MHz) 
was that I could type faster than that pokey old box could empty the 
keyboard buffer!  I'm glad those days are gone.  I would be rattling along 
and all the sudden I would hear beep beep beep beep and I would stop and 
wait for the machine to catch up and then look to see where it left off and 
continue typing.  I was so happy when I got a machine clocked at 10 MHz 
that was fast enough to keep up with me!

73, de Lou K2LKK
