  I know that equipment will be as productive in your hands as 
  it was in Rich Lefko's. Rich was for a very long time a 
  writer of ADAM newsletter articles,  and an expert on most 
  topics to do with the ADAM.
 
 
I know it! I went ahead and had Rich send all his newsletters,
etc! I've already gotten a couple small "hello world" programs 
written. whew, long time since I've done alot of assembly...


> I just have one small suggestion Will, and I hope you'll take
  it in the spirit in which it is offered. As mentioned earlier,
  you need a strong and lasting line of communication with Rich 
  Drushel.  Our world is what it is today,  with problems that 
  Rich Drushel has already discussed, because in earlier times 
  people failed to work together. There was too much emphasis on
  competitive advantage and oneupmanship.   We don't have any 
  room for that now.

 
I agree. I didn't want to come off that way. I am the newbie in
this, and it's plainly obvious that Richard is "The man."  Maybe
in couple years I'll actually have some standing to _argue_ over
a point of Adam programming. So far all I've been trying to
do is spew out my 1/2 cent. So, Richard, if I came off as being
pushy, or whatever, I apologize. No offense meant.

Got the Compiler. I'm waiting to get it transfered over to 
Adam media. My  problem right now is that _all_ the 5-1/4" 
drives I had laying around (1 1.2 meg, 2 360K) are busted. 
So I'm probably going to modem transfer them. That'll take 
a long time at 1200bps.. 

Here's a question: Is there a way to get a PC to write 720K
3-1/2" Adam media? I've got one on the system, but can't 
read them. Urgh, probably have to write some kind of transfer 
program.
I've got alot of work ahead. I've gotten through Volume 1 of Mel
Ostler's excellent "Hacker's Helper" series and have started on
Vol.2. Great books!
