Ah, yes, that was always fun. :) The most sophisticated I ever got was
when I wrote a game modelled after Frogger for the Osborne 1, back when I
was in high school. Since then, I haven't used computers for anything
except word processing and e-mail, but whenever I bump into people who
knew me back then, they seem to remember me as "the computer guy".
