Commodore Amiga is 25 years old

http://www.vintagecomputing.com/index.php/archives/672

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...

Wow that is , 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.

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.

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

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.

aww, you never forget your first (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!

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.

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.
