   We live near Riggin & Dinuba Blvd (Hwy 63).   
      
   I have (or had) a couple of Commodore emulators, but never could find some of   
   the old programs I used to run. I also couldn't remember the OS commands, etc.   
   I had C64 and then a 128 with a couple 1541 drives and even a 1581. I can't   
   remember the modem I had, but it was only 300 bps.   
      
   In high school, we used a dumb terminal with handset cradle modem to connect to   
   the school's computer. (1980 or 81)
