I learned Applesoft Basic, making up quizzes that checked the user's answer with simple IF, THEN, ><, etc. Making a computer do what I wanted it to do was thrilling.Markhttp://blog.markwill.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-86193960757242445902010-07-26T09:07:17.517-04:002010-07-26T09:07:17.517-04:00My favorite old computer was our Commodore 64.

Now, back then you hooked them up to your television set, but it still had gaming capabilities and DOS mode. I kept that thing until 2000. I suppose I had a hard time letting go. Today, I couldn't imagine ever being on a pc so slow in speed. It seems unfathomable by today's standards where we're mostly on fiber optics now.fredamanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12445217103291725907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-16150467315051755782010-07-26T03:29:56.030-04:002010-07-26T03:29:56.030-04:00Our first computer was an Apple II, way before the...Our first computer was an Apple II, way before they came up with the Mac. We had games on cassette tapes which took quite a while to load - there was "Little Brick Out" and "Space Invaders", very primitive by today's standards but we though they were great fun.<br />My other half has a huge collection of these old computers stashed in our garage and occasionally gets called on to produce spare parts for someone who still uses one.Catherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08236329216260906624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-3192386459466293292010-07-25T22:02:17.665-04:002010-07-25T22:02:17.665-04:00My first was a Mac Classic.... great little all in...My first was a Mac Classic.... great little all in one.srphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11751987787364198318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-38686323620912096202010-07-25T20:00:11.143-04:002010-07-25T20:00:11.143-04:00I am saddled with a strange desire to keep older c...I am saddled with a strange desire to keep older computers alive. To that end, I install operating systems like Damn Small Linux on an old 386 IBM laptop. The problem is getting any content off of it. I admit I haven't done that in a while, and that's probably a good thing.Markhttp://blog.markwill.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-27983920737176315832010-07-25T19:52:12.152-04:002010-07-25T19:52:12.152-04:00I would say that our first machine has the most me...I would say that our first machine has the most meaning to us. We started late, inheriting a Packard Bell (one of those horizontal cases) in 1998 or so. It had the first Pentium processor in it, and it was modified with 32 megs of ram, 2 gigs of hard drive, and a Voodoo video card. We had to call my buddy up late that first night to understand that you had to click "start" on Windows 95 to shut it down. The next day, Tammy got it "online" with AOL... and the rest was history!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17421887939505120835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7449503.post-83828496458270778502010-07-25T18:33:57.680-04:002010-07-25T18:33:57.680-04:00i didn't have one but my stepfather has an old...i didn't have one but my stepfather has an old commodore something like this http://robert.hurst-ri.us/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/cbmpet4032.jpgCorvusCorax12https://www.blogger.com/profile/02705986279180729268noreply@blogger.com
