Ah, you kids and your toys. My Commodore 64 that I taught myself assembly language on in 82-83 is still working. Used it up into my first year of college when I started using the UNIX workstations. Although I did use it (and 2 others I had acquired by then) my junior year as part of a parallel programming course in CS and a hardware course in EE. (Granted, assembly isn't a big deal on a 6510 chip, but I was pretty proud of myself) Dan -- Sent from an iPad. There should be less mispelings, but more errors.

I have a Mac even older than that one. Apple 11C, I think it was 1986 or so when I got it.

The times certainly have changed. I remember back to when I got my Mac in the mid 80s and back then it was us Apple people wishing this or that program were written for Apple.
'Course that was when you could buy Apple stock dirt cheap. Oh, if only I've invested then I'd have a much bigger plane today. :)
BTW, here's a comparison shot of my current Mac sitting next to me first (yep, the first one still works), http://users.wirelessbeehive.com/~paw/temp/oldnew.jpg

I have downloaded onto an iPad, and yes it is pretty cool. I just wish it was written for Androids as well.

Hi Dan,
Thanks for posting.
I didn't really need yet another astronomy app but the price was right. :)
I tried it out on both my ancient iPhone and my not quite so ancient iPad 2. I liked it better on the iPad simply because it was easier for my old eyes to read the text.
Seemed to work fine on both devices. I'll give it a more thorough workout when next the weather cooperates.

I haven't used it, but those with iDevices may like it...Star Rover is free today:

(not a customer, not even downloading it, but I thought others would at least like to know)
