Cool, they have the Texas Instruments TI-99/4A, which was my first computer. I still have the cassette player that I had to purchase for it. I remember making a random character generator for the Chill role-playing game. The thing then crashed on me when I was in the middle of programing a random character generator for AD&D role-playing game. I remembered playing pre-recorded cassettes on the little black and white tv set that I hooked it up to. I tossed out the computer but kept the cassette player. I bought it at the local Radio Shack with money made from mowing yards one summer.

To bad my back hurts too much now when I mow grass or shovel snow. That was some good money and some good opportunities to meet some widows

Check out the Sinclair ZX-Spectrum 48K - my first ever computer, my mom bought it when I was 8 and she was learning BASIC...so I learned to program too...ah, the good old days. I think the first game I had for it was Saboteur, that game ruled...of course, I played it again recently and it sucked ass, but it ruled then! hehe.

Way before my time, but an ex-girlfriend's mom used to program those things using those punch card things...beats me how she figure out those things...at least "modern" programming languages are somewhat user friendly

We used the Cobol language..

The bus boards that went into some of the machines could be a headache..

If Michael jackson says it's okay to molest kids - will others follow?
