That just reminds me - any UK readers remember the good ol' BBC Micro?  (for
those that don't it was a home computer from  about 15 years ago, with a full
32k Ram, and a 2MHz 6502 processor).  You could get a ROM for this machine
called "Replay" that would dump the entire memory to a floppy disk when you
pressed a button, then you'd re-load the next day and carry on where you left
off.

Didn't run Unix tho'  ;-)
