and, yes, I remember when I was top of the block with my 4800 baud modem & my XT running at 12mhz

I got that beat.... C64 with 300 baud modem playing Rabbit Jack's Casino on Q-Link!

Does that make me '1337' ?

Vic-20 with tape drive, typing in programs (games) from Compute! magazine. At least I remember that being the name of the C-64/Vic-20 rag.

Now even our wristwatches have far more memory than that.

Yep, Derek, that was it Compute! Magazine

[Possum]

Puke, yes, I'm a San Diegan, born and bred. Hell, second generation even

My BBS was called The Possumhole, as in where a possum lives, eh?

We ran TW2002 madly, usually 2 games at once, occasionally three, since it was hard for a newcomer to break into an endgame situation. I remember we had some great utilities for use with TW2002. No cheating, I've never done that, just macros to automate trade routes and stuff.

The BBS was significantly different from the Net in one big way; the whole community lived in the same area, and you could actually get people together for pizza or a sunday breakfast.

Heh, Geeks R Us

I remember playing and this one player would always find me somehow. Then I got to know the sysop and found out HE was that player. Jerk kept watching me play my turns!

The TI 99 was the first computer I tried to seriously program. When I had the Vic, I had this vague idea that I wanted to program it and had a friend who was into programming come over and try to write a basic program for/with me to help with my check book...kept getting an 'out of memory' error...imagine THAT

After I got out of the USMC ('86), I started back at school and accidentally got into computers by signing up for basic & fortran out of curiosity. After I signed up for those classes, I broke out my father-in-law's TI 99 and began fiddling around with basic. I was trying to write a dungeon generation program for D&D using the tables in the DMG. That program started in TI 99A Basic, then changed to Pascal, then to C (Borland C 1.0), and it never got finished

A TI! Aaaah! Awesome! We had the same TI99/4A. And we loved Tunnels of Doom. And Hunt the Wumpus, and Munch Man, and TI Invaders, and The Attack, and all those infocom text games, and don't even get me started when we bought the speech synthesizer unit... That added a whole new level of fun to Parsec: "Enemy approaching..."

And don't even ask about Terry Turtle's Big Adventure using the speech unit *and* the voice recognition unit!....

Me: "Eat."
TI: "A strawberry. Yum yum."

Those were the days.
