Hi Ben,
I seem to recall reading that you once used a Commodore 64 on Fidonet.
Do you remember whether the software "re-flowed" text for 40 columns?
It seems to me that the common recipe managers wrap at 80 columns.
Yes, IIRC, we had a C=64 from 1984-1994, (maybe 1995). Got introduced to Fidonet in late January, 1994 and made the switch to PCs in April or May
of that year (or 95, possibly, long ago enough that I don't remember
exactly).
For that matter, do you recall using a recipe manager on the C=64?
I printed off a lot of recipies initially, then we got Meal Master.
We've still got a lot stored on that; Steve can get them somehow (I'm
not the computer geek; he is.) when needed.
I'm thinking about spending some time in 8-bit computer emulators.
Not necessarily C=64, but many of them do have 40 column displays. Coincidentally, i read that Braille is normally 38 cells per line.
Honestly, I couldn't tell you. I don't have the "computer smarts".
We had a breakfast at church before service this morning. Our fig tree
has been producing faster than Steve and I could eat them so I took some
and made oatmeal/fig muffins, finding the recipie on AllRecipies. I
subbed out whole wheat pastry flour for the all purpose called for, also
cane sugar for the white. Came home with 4 (of 24) and one of the ladies
took the copy of the recipie we'd brought.
Catch you later,
That has been my sign off since I started with Fido. (G)
