Not just multicolred sqares with a slight variation in game mechanics from PONG ....

Remember that goofy little adapter that WHT used to have, it would plug into the wall & the cable would run into it, and the 300 ohm twin lead adapter would connect to your rabbit ears connector at the back of the tv? Those were the days.... [/sarcasm]

[BIV]

In my day we never heard of hard drives. We had floppy discs, and they were actually floppy.

[Three Hole Puncher]

Hey you little hoodlums! Get off my lawn!

[Jambi]

Get your fucking Edsel out of my way, my flying car is cleared for takeoff.

[JoeyDVDZ]

My first actual PC had two floppy drives, no hard drive, and 128k of ram installed, upgraded (at $300) to 640k. I also had a 300 baud modem.


Yeah, those were indeed the days. :)

I had an NES in my friends dirty basement and we hatched a plan for weeks to get into his dads porno mags and they NEVER worked.

Those days fucking sucked, internet porn may be easy but by god is it good. I remember when a very hairy snatch on a rained on magazine was the holy grail.

[Sinn Fein]

Never had an Atari. I had one of these:

*Bows Down In Supplication Before The AMIGA*

[Sinn Fein]

It's actually a Commodore 128-D, not an Amiga.

I almost got an Amiga but that was when Commodore went belly-up. I ended up getting a PC.

[DR. Jimcy M.E.]

Well my first computer was a Vic-20, with a data adapter. Wow I was high class, then we moved up to a C-64 which was I think $1200.00, I used to drool for hours waiting on Basic Magazine, So I could program in a new game. Then I remember hacking Lunar Lander, for better fuel, and changing the physics of the game...

Then went to the C-128, where it was a tri-boot computer, C-64, C-128, or CP/M.

God I feel old. I still remember the days when a 20 Meg hard drive, ment you were hot shit, and 1200 Baud modem. Shit you could hack wall street.

[CaryMG]

Ahhhh .....

All this talk of computers .... Modems .... BaudRates ....

It's the work of the Devil, I say, and I wont be a party to all of this deviltry & devilment !

What you kids need is more Jesus & less Something-That-Rhymes-With-"Jesus"-And-Has-To-Do-With-Technology ....
