OK, some sentimental stuff tonight.

I still remember vividly. That was around 196x. I was a high school
kid in Japan. My father took me to one of the biggest hotels in
downtown Tokyo. At a corner of the lobby, I found a teletype machine
making noise. That was some news feed. It was so fascinating that
the machine was typing the news all by itself, FAST!!!

The new XXCOPY copyright notice and so on are just like the movie.
XXCOPY brings back the excitement of the first StarWar movie...

XXCOPY, being an old fashioned command-line program, reminds us
that we all are veteran computer users, are we not?

Do any of you remember the first time you saw the IBM-AT after
using the original PC or XT? That was around 1985. At least
my first impression was that the screen scrolled too fast to
read anything. At that time, I really preferred the XT's
"optimum" scroll speed.

Anyway you look at it, XXCOPY shows a classic scrolling display :-)
Or, are you suggesting a new switch to control the scroll speed?
