Heh, my first comp was a Commodore 16, we used the first Apple's and TRS (Trash 80's in JC., oh the memories. No such thing as ROM, all our 5 1/4 floppy boot disks getting wiped clean becuase the janitors used the vacuum cleaner near them, oh the days, programming in basic and Fortans. First games were the simple line polygons, original asteroids, pong, original Elite, predecessor of Privateer.
I get a kick out of listening to todays young people complaining about how their new 900 mz P3 with 512k ram, 50 gig hd, is a peice of crap
What we wouldn't have given in the old days to even dream that systems like these would exist in the future
