Oh holy shit! C&VG is still around... I used to get that when they included a few pages of BASIC code to code your own stuff instead of an attached DVD LOL.

KRL · 02-10-2006, 12:31 AM

Yeh I remember it well.

je_rome · 02-10-2006, 12:35 AM

I'm not sure if CDrom was already supported back then since most programs were in those large floppy disks.

lol. Is this a joke?
16x cdroms..

I remember when they planned on launching a cd-rom drive sometime in the future.

reed_4 · 02-10-2006, 01:43 AM

How can I forget the floppy disk drive (5 & 1/4) and the dot matrix printers.

SGS · 02-10-2006, 01:44 AM

Atari 400 back in 1979/80 and eventually went for the external cassette player for programs that didnt come on a cartridge.

Dot matrix was cutting edge when you were used to a "golfball" printer that needed a pair of ear defenders to use.

iwantchixx · 02-10-2006, 02:50 AM

I was farting around with Amiga back in those days. Win 3.x was shit compared to what the Workbench OS was capable of. Hell, even with no OS the damn thing ran games sweetly froma boot floppy and had pretty good framerates for what the hardware was.

Damian_Maxcash · 02-10-2006, 03:05 AM

I had a XT that ran only DOS with WordPerfect - none of this WYSIWYG wordproccesor crap - you had to try and imagine what it would look like.

Then I upgraded and got windows 3.11 and started a BBS using 'Cheetah' software I think - I managed to hook it up to email and was about the first person in town with an email address.

It was about 3 months before anyone emailed me - I nearly wet myself when I got it. It was test123 message from America, I couldnt believe it had come all the way over the ocean lol

care to guess how much it cost?

Mine was pretty close to that... I had a Tandy 2500 SX... screaming fast 25Mhz cpu, 80 meg harddrive, 1 meg of ram with Dos 5.0 and Windows 3.0.

After it got old and many of the sectors were bad on the HD, I wiped it out and started running my BBS on it with my screaming fast 2400 baud modem.

everestcash · 02-10-2006, 06:13 AM

yeah i remember those days, was like yesterday

picsmasters · 02-10-2006, 06:22 AM

I have headr thet there are some museums in internet where you see old (really old) versions of different sites, ans the other museums with screeshoots of old software, may be some one can share links ?

Doc911 · 02-10-2006, 07:30 AM

I still have an old computer running 3.1 on top of Netware. 386dx with 4 megs of ram and a 30 meg rll hard drive.

MaDalton · 02-10-2006, 08:06 AM

psili · 02-10-2006, 09:44 AM

I remember using 3.11 for workgroups and running this HP desktop manager a university computer tech guy gave me. The multi-virtual desktops were sweet.
