I had the tape recorder for a while then the 1541 floppy. Believe or not 
I still have some tapes with programs on them. The floppies I don't know.

I never got rid of my Commodore 64 or some of the programs. I even 
bought (at auction) another Commodore 64 for five bucks. I still have my 
the machine language book.

  Yes! Yes I did. But someone else did the hard work of working with the 
'original NASA elevation data' and made a very large image map. The only 
trouble is that you don't get much fine detail. Its like looking at Mars 
from 50 miles up.
  I have several POV files that show the whole planet, does close-up 
views, and does landscapes. I can cut the planet up, that is show only 
parts above or below a height. All using longitude and latitude of Mars.
I when so far as to take longitude and latitude of places around home on 
earth and see what was there on Mars. My home is in the middle of nothing!
