Hi,
Reminiscence time revisited! Graeme, I used Chem Eng's forklift truck a few
times and used blagg other stuff from them! I "taught" in some undergrad
labs and projects so may have come in contact with your mates. As for Kermit
I had versions for PCW, PC, and Z88 and used them successfully. Great little
program! I also had email during this time - problem was there wren't many
people you could keep in contact with at that time!
