I had one. The most fun computing I've done EVER! Sadly, in a moment of extremely poor judgment (and lack of storage space) I actually threw mine in the dumpster some years ago. Kicking myself now. That wasn't a machine, it was an organic living thing and I killed it!

I had a Commodore 64c, which should be around the same age. It might still work OK too, although I haven't tried for a long time. Still have tons of games for it (as in ~300).

Those were the days... :thumbsup:

Wow that is :w00t:, I love the signatures on the case of everyone that designed it. I remember my father using one at his job and was one of my first computer experiences when i was a kid.

I love the signatures on the case of everyone that designed it.

Yes, I always thought that was really cool too and one of the main reasons I'm so sad that I got rid of it.

The Macintosh is 26. Models up through the Mac Plus had the designers' names inside the case as well.

I also had C-64 and I used to spend hours playing games on it back in the early '80s
Back then, graphics were so bad that "gameplay" was king.

Never had a Commodore. But I did have a TI 99/4A.....way back in the day. :redface:

I collect the Commodore portable; used to have one on the road with me. I have three perfectly functional units currently.

At that time I was in High School... BASIC language classes... eek! :eek:

Memories...

I had a C-64.

LOAD "*" ,8 ,1

So much fun at the time. I got rid of the hardware a while ago, but I still have a ton of 5.25" floppy disks, mostly games. Put many hours on that thing.

[big lo]

Now back in my time that was the sh!t, and dont forgat the Atari people, many days cuttin class just to play. Those are memories now.

[tomato]

aww, you never forget your first :wub: (computer)

this thread is making me want to dig out my old pics and see if I can find it.
I no longer have the hardware but I remember posing proudly next to it ... a long time ago!

[Astroman]

I had two vic-20's. Sadly they both went in the trash. Had some cassette and cartridge games. Radar rat race was my fav.

LOAD "*" ,8 ,1

You rule! I was trying to remember that loading sequence... You have my nerd :respekt:

I had an Atari laptop that I wish I kept. Used it for music.

I typed that sequence MANY times. I think it's tattooed on my brain.

[tomato]

I give you....

my very first computer :wub:

(technically not the first I put my hands on, but the first I got to put in my room, woot!!)


sorry about the size and quality of the pic.

I haven't thought about my High School Computer classes for a long time. I don't miss the hours we spent programming a picture dot by dot and line by line... and then animating it by making it move across the screen.

We had Apple IIe's. I had to look up the specs after seeing this thread. LMAO, 1.023 MHz Processor, 64 KB RAM built-in, Memory upgradable to a max of 1 MB & Double-High-Resolution: 560×192 (16 colors).:bellyroll:

[tomato]

Hey, are you dissin' my computer?!! that was state of the art back then!!!



:laugh: :laugh:

I'm impressed you could recognize an Apple IIe from this picture, though. :clap:

[bkrownd]

I had a blazing fast Timex Sinclair TS-1500 until 1988. Accessories: old 12" black-and-white TV set "monitor", cash register tape style thermal printer and old cassette recorder "storage". Well....um....ahem....well, all you show-offs with those fancy rich-kid computers can just....just...bite me!!! :mad: :mad: :mad:

Don't even ask about the decade-plus that I played my Atari 2600. By the last couple years Omega Race, Super Breakout and Kaboom! were the only 2600 games I could stand to play anymore.

Ditto here.

IK+, Armalyte & Impossible Mission were favourites of mine.
I still remember the days of loading games from tape and cartridge, even before 5.25" disks became the norm!
