CP/M -lol- haven't seen that in ages!

Wasn't that long ago multiport serial cards were repurposed for fax
servers and now fax are disappearing as more desktop and enterprise
scanners appear.

But still waiting for Bluetooth keyboard and true heads up display for
my iPhone ;)

BTW... Paying attention to humidity and dress will also help with
static issue- Mmmmmmm, a capacitor based personal defense system
powered by wool undies, polyester pants and rubber shoes!
