kind of works? reading multiple mice: any c programmers want to look at this?

Probably the Atari 8 64K. 5 1/4 floppy drive, which beat that cassette recorder you and I both probably struggled with for our TI4A. That's right, I had one of those, too; 1981. I was in college at the time, just married, and had my father-in-law over visiting. I had him wait 15 minutes while I wrote some code, which resulted in a small red flashing square transversing the 13" black and white television set. I'm sure he was hoping his daughter could figure a way out of the marriage after that experience, but funny thing, I ended up in the same profession, but while he spent $100,000 on computer systems and software for his practice, I wrote my own system, which was better, more dependable, and highly accurate all for the cost of $6,000 in computer and printer hardware. BTW, still married to the same wonderful woman now for over 40 years, but now we have a 25" black and white t.v., which is a good thing, because my eyesight would struggle seeing that flashing square on the old set.

Cassettes indeed! They were conveniently ubiquitous and relatively cheap, I'll give them that! 
Still, within the first week of having the C64, I finally had enough of dealing with them, and coughed up $400 of my paper route money, got a 1541 floppy drive, and never looked back! 
Later I found an expansion unit for the TI, with a couple floppy drives and the serial or com card, and transferred all my programs to a modern computer via nullnodem. 
Eventually I would like to create some equivalent functions in QB64 to run my old TI programs. The biggest challenge will be CALL SOUND!
