the amiga's were the best thing out there in it's time. Damn, fuckall for ram, fuckall for system bus, fuckall for pwoer really, but those boxes could churn out graphics no pc or mac could touch. All thanks to the video toaster. Altho the video toaster was designed for only the 4000 series you could get equaly impressive graphics from an A1201 (A1200 + 1.5 megabyte 'chip' memory upgrade installed) and upgrading the workbench rom. the a2000 was really a "pc" version of the a500 that was designed to have the guts of the a500 but have expandability such as with built in ram and hdd and zoro slotts. If anyone has seen the a2000 vs the a500 you know what I mean. The 500 and 200o were same thing really except the a500 had to have a litle breakout box that attached to its side to hold up to 16 megs of ram and a 512 meg max hard drive.

My first experience with 'computers' was probably

Here it is... the Amstrad CPC 464... Very cool computer! It taught me all I know today... oh, actually that was the Commodore 64 that did that!

http://www.old-computers.com/museum/photos/cpc464.jpg

In high school our computers only were able to do mathematical calculations. There weren't hard drives yet. The program code was stored on these strips.

Yikes, why is it TANDY users usally have the same personality?

Ahh commodore 64, my first computer...

Yep the first one I ever used was one my dad bought in 1979 or 1980

Trs Level 1 model 1

Then we went to a color computer, man that rocked.

me and my brother wrote a centipede type game, and sold it to coco mag. for $50.00 :))

i believe you meant "computer" not "PC"


anyhow, my first one was a Commodore 64

http://www.pattosoft.com.au/jason/Ar...puters/C64.jpg

I still think "Hunt for Red October" for the C64 is one of the best computer games ever made.

Beware the power of the Apple II

circa 1989 Mac Plus 1 mg RAM

later i got a SyQuest Drive oooh ... and a laserwriter that only printed times and helvetica that cost $1,500!!!

ah the a1200, great graphics on that sonovabitch for what it was. A friend of mine was usning it up until 3 years ago until he fried his monitor. Now he cant find one to replace it. If i could find a monitor for it I would take it off his hands

Me too.

Thought we could use a little break from the ancient computer images.

Ditto.....high school puter class....lol

this oddball thing,


than a Mac Plus,


than a NCR 386... (another oddity... with MCI bus and SCSI hard drives...)

that's actually a VC 20. It came out like 2 years before the C 64. The screen had a whopping 20 chars per line (C 64 had 40).
