[ale] a moment of silence please

[Lightner, Jeff]

I did once upon a time have an Adam from Coleco that would run CP/M from
tape.  One thing about Adam that was better than some of the other
systems of the day was it actually started and stopped the tape itself
without requiring the user to press the play or stop button.

Wow. The 1st OS I worked with out of college was called Micronix which
ran on that Z80/S-100 bus arch. It was a SysV Unix with a CP/M emulator.
It was my first exposure to Unix.
