RE: Who would have imagined???????
I did some research and discovered that "Flying Buffalo" is still in operation?????

It was actually 1970 or 71 when I was playing their mail game (Nuclear Destruction).

The founder was managing these contests by hand, but once he got enough people involved, he bought a Raytheon 704 minicomputer. His payments were $386 a month over the length of his 8 year contract!!!

His original computer had a 4K memory and when that wasn't enough, he purchased another 4K for $5000!!!

Give a man fire and he'll be warm for a day.
Light a man on fire and he'll be warm for the rest of his life.
