I remember getting incredibly excited a few years back when we went through the store room and turned up a genuine green screen laptop the same as the one used to control the autoguns in Aliens. Unfortunately there was a strict policy that it had to go for
disposal and I had to watch it? being carted off...

We had an older computer at work but I only used it twice. I am not even sure of the make or model so I didn't mention it. Small green round screen in a microwave sized box, but there may have been other boxes. I just remember cables and not
having to use correction tape like I did at home.
Started miniature gaming in 1962. WW2. By 1970 had played ancients and Napoleonics so I guess my gaming background was well rounded (board games in 1968 - Battle of Britain). Although there was that older guy. You couldn't always be sure of
what game he would run, like a Viking raid somewhere in the Med. We had axes, they had pikes. He also was into that fantasy stuff. Gary had a wide range of interests.
