"SI Admin Bob is really just a bunch of dBase code we wrote back in the mid 80s on a Zeos 386" I always thought Bob was a little slow.

Hey...remember those little computers that they had around 1983. They had 1k of ram and hooked up to your tv. Little rubber membrane keyboard. I think they sold for around $200 It was before the IBM peanut and pcjr anyway. sigh, those were the days. I remember in the 70s I got all dizzy sick with excitement because I bought a pet CBM with 8k ram and, get this, a built in disk drive 5.25 and sound. Sure it was just a couple of beeps, but man... Only paid $900 for it too.
