Shit, I was using dial in BBS back in 88 for games and shit. They were slow but hey!! Thank god Al Gore invented the internets!!

yeah - 88-89 was about the start for me

I currently have a commodore modem sitting here and I'm picking up a commodore this weekend - now I just gotta find someone to play against!

I still have my 486 in working order too - just can't find a mouse or keyboard for it - think it has a 14.4 modem but I might have upgraded it to 56k - but i can't remember

[SJ]

if I cam get the 486 running I'm going to figure out how to build an old BBS again and play some usurper

Shit, my first PC was a C8080 with a 10M HD and a 2400 modem!! Speed demom!

Dude is in the interweb CIA.

[SJ]

ouch I had a 2400 for about a month - fucking brutal brutal speed

my first computer was a commodore 64, then I got a 286 - which I built with some help and saved 1000 - the I upgraded it to the 486 - put it in a smaller, less then 200 pound case (god those bastards were heavy - the lay down ones that you set the monitor on top of - which BTW was the way to go I still don't know why they changed that)

oddly - the first unit I used to weigh cattle on was even more ancient then my commodore - it was some VT220 or ViC220? something like that - had a green screen from hell.

[SJ]

know what else fucks me up - is everytime I hear ps1 meaning playstation 1 I think of the IBM ps1

Apple II was my first PC. Tape recorder was my disk drive.

[SJ]

Apple II was my first PC. Tape recorder was my disk drive.

our school was the first in toronto to get the apple II's - I remember playing below the root and the oregon trial? and cross country canada! woot drive that truck - get that load!

the commodore had a tape thing - but I never had it - I just had the floppy drive

but I remember if you loaded something wrong it would lock up and say "press play on Tape" - that shit will always haunt me

[SJ]

this is a great parody

our school was the first in toronto to get the apple II's -

Me and a buddy would go to the Apple Store and actually copy programs and they didn't care.
