I remember getting a woopin' for moving the heads on my dad's cassete player to get a data tape to work on my acorn electron,...

my days are always good Ubik, thanks for wishing. Maybe i am overly sensitive, but i support computer Users for a living, by my unofficial estimate i believe 75% of the computers i deal with have a pirated OS, taking into account all the software i would say 90% of those computers have illegal stuff on it. Kinda sad when we condone stealing because the object of theft has no physical shape. Just because it is digital doesn't mean,... anyway,.. enough jammerin' about piracy,...

Maybe you'll let me kick your butt in a game sometime LOL.

Apple ][e, 16 colors, 300 baud modem. Wowee that was a piece of crap.

My first computer was the Timex Sinclair 1000. Had to be pluged into a TV. Had like a K of memory. You programed everything in a crude form of BASIC (where I learned to program in fact.) And you had to leave it on 24/7 or you lost all your work.

Any one else remember that thing?

Hey!

Trade Wars... great great game!

It starts me having fond memories about 14.4k modems, a truly enjoyable comunity, a shareware game called Stars! Dont know if the name means anything to you...

But from what I have seen so far, this community is very very mature... only a bit too distrustfull, but I think that is what happens when we start pumping money at all this... ;-)

Whow, Darwin, That's better than me! I started with a ZX 80. No need to explain what this "computer"could do.
