I haven't heard his name since then. I used to play around with his pinball software.
Yeah - his "Pinball Construction Set" actually pre-dated the Mac (not sure if he visited Palo Alto like Apple did)!

Any of you guys ever heard of Bill Budge?

I actually was sent 6502 assembly source code from him back in the 80's when I was hoping to become the next "him" writing arcade games for the Apple ][.

I'm 36 and old enough to remember UUCP... and CompuServe.
Shit - I remember using CompuServe also (and the sounds of my original 1200 baud modem)!
I had 300baud... direct coupled thankfully... there used to be public x.25 dialups in most cities here called 'datapac' .. and you would dial up to that and enter an address to get to compuserve... the best thing on there was the CB simulator.

That's almost 40.
Compuserv....jeez, you bring back memories.
42. BEST AGE IN THE UNIVERSE!
Hate to break it to you: Nothing to look forward to until 69.
I'm just curious. How many of us are above 40? This isn't an age-exclusive thread but I'm curious how many coiners are old enough to remember UUCP.

Interesting I am 45+ but had forgotten the Unix to Unix "copy" abbreviation (was that from the usenet days?).
NNTP across UUCP. Those were the days...
Maybe we can be the first and send a bitcoin across UUCP somehow. : )
