February 28th, 2018:

	Sorry if I overshared a bit yesterday.  I'm not an academic 
(gasp!), so I tend to write from personal experience.  Of which I have a 
lot.

Anyhow, back to normal.  I was going through my pictures on my sole 
Windows computer, and came across a picture of Sigrid, my TRS-80 Model 4P 
computer, logged into SDF and browsing SDF's gopher server.  It got me 
feeling nostalgic, so I'm planning to dig Sigrid out of the lab this 
weekend for a bit of fun.  I keep telling myself I'm going to start 
programming this thing (whether K&R C or Z80 Assembler), one of these days 
I'll have to make good on that threat...

The only useful thing I could use would be a uudecoder/encoder, or perhaps 
a more efficient ZIP or LZH archiver?  QWK, SOUP, or BlueWave offline 
reader?  ANSI terminal with ZModem?  I dunno.  I'll have to actually READ 
the programming books I bought and learn something other than simple 
BASIC.  I have a couple of highly rated tools like Misosys C (a K&R C 
compiler) and EDAS (Misosys' editor/assembler) as well, would learn on 
those before moving into IDEs or cross-compilers etc on other systems... 

Better think about this some more.
