gearman Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 I cut my teeth on a Commodore VIC 20 (w/"Datasette") in 1981. Those early machines seem pretty lame now but I learned a quite a bit fooling around with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottb Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 I had the Vic 20 and an Apple IIe. I remember using a hole punch to make your own double sided disks. The disk drive A and B made a great monitor stand. Early highlight of the Apple, getting an 80 column card and upgrading to my 28.8 modem. I had a summer Olyimpics game and Dr J Vs Larry Bird basket ball. I have an Osborne portable computer ( more like lug-able) that is the size of a microwave from early 80's?.

ReconRat Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 (edited) How about a nice DOS in the box? Still has the original shrink wrap....Actually, the biggest shocker of all. We didn't have a mouse way back when.All commands were typed on the keyboard. Joysticks were way more important. In before there were applications or games available for sale... That was way early.My first job at Rockwell was part of a group designing and building up mini computers embedded in a block of plastic, to control video, telemetry, flight parameters, targeting, etc. Yes, it got hot. But it only had to work long enough to hit it's target.http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/f/f9/GBU-15_xxl.jpg/300px-GBU-15_xxl.jpgEdit: Actually, that's a late model. The original looked like this:http://www.designation-systems.net/dusrm/gbu-15v1.jpg Edited March 29, 2011 by ReconRat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
