The first computer I played with used a telephone and a typewriter to send to a mainframe. Ya diald the computer's number and when it gave you the right signal you started typing.

I used to get on the "internet" before it was called that by dialing into the UW VAX computer. I was using a 300 bps modem and you could read the text faster than it would fill the screen.
I paid by the CPU second and it was expensive. I got access to a lot of engineering information that I am unsure I was supposed to be able to access before they terminated my account.

Think we are going to have to get Vince into therapy :-)
I was looking at a SAA in 357 but was wondering what the recoil would be like. I finally went with a Blackhawk.

The recoil isn't all that bad. Most is absorbed by the way it rocks back in your hand.
I've taken two deer with it using 140 grain Remington SHP over 18 grains of W-296.
