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:D.
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:D, never saw them in reality though we made the programs on sheets:)

me too :andrea:
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 :bandit:

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.
