Appears that's Richard Adams himself writing that history (the person who made it), interesting...shame I had to go via. WHOIS to find that, a little conflict of interest but still a neat site.

Care to add more thoughts? one link topic starters really, really suck.

My aim isn't to really start a topic but to just share something interesting I find with everyone here. But you are more than welcome to chime in at any time.

I see what you are saying there though. Smiley

Ahh, but that's just it, why is it interesting to you? A link without anything to express "why" just makes a little annoyed, since surely if it is worth sharing, it's worth describing why it is worth spending some time reading.

You have a good point, I can see where you are coming from. I personally live life by a different philosophy. I'm more of a take it or leave it kind of guy. If you don't like the info fine if you do that's fine as well. Just want to share what I've found, but I can see it from your point of view as well.

Depends on how you define "16 bit".

Z80 based computers have a 16 bit data bus so you can have 64K of RAM.  So in my world they are "16 bit"
