Let's reminisce..... I miss my Commy 64 :(
 

and my kick ass 300 baud modem... and my TI 99/4a with the cassette tape storage.. I was livin large in them there days...
Wish the local bbs's were still around... Made for lots of local bonding...

Ok.. now I'm depressed......

hehehe I had a 4 line Wildcat 3 BBS running on an OS/2 powered 386DX2.

C64 4TW.

The sheep of the day all bought $1200 Apple II computers, when the C64 could offer the same graphics/capabilities for less than half as much.

BAAAAAA GO THE SHEEP! ;)

I remember hookin' up my first 300 baud modem and actually connecting to a chat line.. Scared the Hell out of me... What to do what to do!! :) Then I thought I was amongst the coolest of the cool.. :)

These kids nowadays think the internet was around forever... Like remote controls.... They don't know that we used to have to actually get up to change the channel on the tv... and stick our finger in certain holes to dial phone numbers.. :) and my first $35 tv didn't have color... :)

Load "*" ,8,1

Dude. Got you beat. I miss my Vic-20

Load up a C64 emulator and relive the memories:

I've got one loaded up with roms that I can run on my XBox.

That sig 2 above me is nuts.

Well... I probably have most beat...

I sat behind the first "desktop" type system the Wang brought out in about 1973.. (Military stuff) ........God rest the soul of a great company...

But I tried the Vic 20 ... My head wasn't into that one for some reason...

I had the atari 520ST and 1040ST at the time... miss those days, (well not really)

I had a commodore 64. sold it a few years back for £100.

The Sinclair Spectrum was one sweet machine... I loved it!

Also, I remember my first 300 baud modem and my first Compuserve bill... $1500 for the first month... and I also remember dialing into the Air Force Weapons Lab and saying "uh-oh" when the screen came up after a 'war-dialing' session with a dialer I wrote and yanking the phone line out of the wall before they could trace me...

Best game on the C64 was a game called Wizards.. awesome levels and sprite graphics .. and I met my 3rd wife on a C64 bbs..

i could cry right now

I agree mate. It really was great fun....millions of games available on it as well!

I remember everybody use to take the piss out of the rubbery dead flesh type keyboard.

is it allowed to post an emule link to some old amiga commercials i have?

post the emule link! i wanna see... or email it to me

Do it to it.. :)

Don't get back on time, look at the future !

It's looking pretty grim right now...

At least the past had some good times to reflect upon...

Hopefully our children, and their children can say the same..

here are a few odd ones, quality not the best, i got them for my boyfriend who had computers in those days

my dad never let me get the modem

dam that man

i live in a small town and the musicstore downtown upgraded from a tandy computer 3 years ago, those are old i think

Definitely borders on child abuse... :)

You think right...

Radio Shack had a decent run at it.. Had a few decent business setups too..

My first computer was a PII 180 mhz from Compaq. I'm just a baby. :)

Apple IIc :thumbsup

do you guys drive a 79 pinto too?

Who had that Epyx "Fast Load" cartridge for their C64? I remember using that thing to hack into Ultima IV, and remove walls from things like shops in cities so I could just walk up and steal a horse anytime I liked...

Ahhhh the good old days. 300 baud modems, Jolt cola, and trying to avoid the gestapo patrols of my Mom past 10pm on schoolnights while playing in the dark...
