    There has been a lot of these kits in past.

    Only a six digit display for this. It didn’t have any battery backup either. The lottery program I made has 110 rows so it was laborious to key in the program every time for selecting the numbers. I still use the same numbers I selected in the past but they haven’t been any good numbers.

    Oh yeah, don't rely on computer to win You a lottery As far as I know random function uses processor microtime, so it not really random.
    I also had some assembler experience much later in the University, and it was for serious computers from the past IBM360/370 & VAX11. Big machines, never saw them in reality though we made the programs on sheets

    me too
    I also disassembled a HP-85 byte by byte when I was around 15... all 32k of it :-p, after programming my own compiler/decompiler with simple peek and poke command extensions I made after loaning the Assembler module from HP for a couple of days. I then used my compiler to program matrix and algebraic calculus functionalities to enhance the HP-basic command set without needing to buy any of their extra Rom modules

    I have been in the wars of late. Had a heart attack and two falls which resulted in free rides in ambulances to Cabrini hospital. Crushed vertebrae on mend.
    How's Pino?

    My best regards to all my friends here.

    Oh crap, hope you're at least close to getting back to good health. All the best wishes from over here in the donkEU.

    Pino's fine, his team got half way to avenging their previous 4-0 against Spain.
