@Tock Your story reminds me of my first encounter with LOTUS123. I inherited an #IBMPC with a #10MBHDD from the #DeansOffice at #Columbia with no manuals.

Soldier is a robot with a built-in phaser. Sometimes the only way to deal with an obstacle is to shoot it. Soldier won't have to look for a phaser, nor wait around for the Shoot instruction to drop into the library. #teamdroid #ibmpc #msdos #cga
