basebal21 Bedrock of the Community 13014 Posts	Posted 09/18/2012 4:00 pm I always wanted to get one of those awful word processor computers the schools had just so I could play oregon trail at home. No matter what choice you made it was always the wrong one to cross the river Report this Post to the Staff
Schwanke Valued Member United States 242 Posts	Posted 09/18/2012 4:10 pm To add to the computer history side of this thread I remembered my first real interaction with a computer was a Commodore 64 back in the 5th grade. We had a programming class using a language called "Logo". (Had this turtle you moved around with programming commands to draw pictures and the like.) I remember it was the first time "I did something I wasnt supposed to." with a computer. Didnt even know it. I figured out how to use the computer to make noise and I wrote a program that played music but the music wasnt coming out of the computer and so I dug around behind the machine and figured out how to rewire it to get the sound to work. Freaked the teacher out when my computer made music because apparently they had all been disabled so that you couldnt annoy the teacher with music lol. Hey. How was I supposed to know it was "broken" on purpose. lol. :D Report this Post to the Staff
jbuck Moderator United States 188770 Posts	Posted 09/18/2012 4:15 pm The Commodore 64 was my second computer. I still have it, but it does not work. However, my Commodore 128 and Amiga 500 still work. They are both hooked up and I boot them occasionally just to remind myself how far I have come. By the way, my coin inventory spreadsheet began on the Commodore 128.

carmykle Pillar of the Community United States 2448 Posts	Posted 09/18/2012 5:25 pm I hate using this language, but, Wow, Jbuck, an old commodore? That's great! Anytime we can use old tech should be celebrated! Remember when computers finally achieved 256 of RAM? Nirvana! Oh, and what was that mother board called? Had all those great expansion slots! Heaven! I think I finally was able to afford a 10 Meg hard drive. Edited by carmykle 09/18/2012 5:26 pm Report this Post to the Staff
