Gee, is this really true?  It seems that I've been able to play
games starting on a vt125, then continue on an adds regent 25, and then
still more on a homemade computer that currently emulates a Beehive
microbee (its easy to emulate, for what I use it for, ok).  Does this
mean I really didn't play the same game? :-)
