What is amazing to me is the stupidity of some of the commenters.  If their grasp of basic scientific principles and facts is common among the current generation, we will never make it to Mars.

I am still in awe of the power of the mightly little CoCo3, realizing how far advanced it was beyond the AGC.  And to think we were able to pick it up at the time for just a few hundred bucks at the most, boggles the mind.
