Bob,

Enjoyed your trials narrative better than you probably enjoyed the trials!
Wish I had an answer to the fading popularity of CP/M .. I'm sitting here
with my good and faithful Toad (Morrow Decision I, S100) and the stolid and
mysterious Beast (CompuPro S100 multi-user with Gifford MP/M 816), yet all
my most recent developmental work is in the flashy Gulfstream..
NOT because it's a better programming environment (ugh), but only because
(1) that's where the markets are
(2) bloody people seem to want flash out there (e.g., popup windows,
    fancy screens, everything at their fingertips at the same time but
    "don't expect ME to read a manual", etc.

Sigh ...

Regards,
