:D Thanks guys! It's one of my monthly illustrations for a Dutch computer magazine. The article is about reusing your old computer as a server or other purposes. So I exaggerated that "old computer" a bit. :)

Ah, those good old turnable 5.25 inch floppy days. Who remembers that slow but great Commodore 1541 disc-drive? Sentiment! :)

Cheerio,

Metin

Thanks very much guys!

Tom:

10 POKE 53280,(INT(RND(0)*255))
20 POKE 53281,(INT(RND(0)*255))
30 POKE 646,(INT(RND(0)*255))
40 PRINT "HELLO I AM METIN! "
50 GOTO 10

:D Describe me what that does and you're my main man!

Cheers,

Metin

By the way, if I remember it right 53280 was the background (border) color indeed, 53281 was the foreground color (the area inside the border), 646 was the cursor/text color. So you're 90 percent my main man. ;)

Well, a lot of nowaday computer wiseguys I know owned a Commodore computer once. But having owned any 8-bitter is cool enough. Sinclair ZX Spectrum or MSX is okay by me. :)
