I also had much fun with the TR-440, from 1971 to 1978 at Stuttgart. The 
first few years we were connected to a machine at Karlsruhe, until we 
got our own TR-440. My first programming exercise, a board game, 
resulted in a printout of 30 pages (the limit) of "Gewonnen!", because I 
missed to read in the next data record, and I considered to use it as a 
wall paper in my next apartment :-)

I'm also a proud owner of an original TR-440 instruction set manual :-)

BTW do you know HP Kehm, HofnArr or Flip-Flop?
