Any old Apple ][+ users on here? ahh 64k and apple cat modems! [pic]
 

I actually had 48k I think.

I remember getting my apple cat modem..
the next day I met this kid who knew a guy... we went to his house..
he showed us his blue box. Free phone calls.
The next day we went back, his mom said he was busted by the FBI and couldn't talk.
So began my journey into the phreaking/hacking world.

went white hat long ago but black hat was fun for a while ...

My Apple ][+ was about $2k when I got it sometime around 1980.
Had three or four 5 1/4" floppy drives.. ran a 1 line bbs called Speed Demon Elite. lol!!
Another called the Octagon. Oh man.. those were the days.. 1 line of green text took forever to cross the screen on a 14.4 baud modem...

can you relate? whats your story?

Nah, I wasn't that far back.... I joined on the Mac 512ke for 3 years, with networking provided by Appletalk-cabled Macs... the fact you could send data from one Mac to another in another lab was frikken mindblowing :D)

My first personal purchase was the IIci - GBP 1400 or thereabouts, with 16MB RAM

I'm too young for this :helpme

I remember getting an Apple ][e as my first computer (besides a Commodore Vic20) out of the dumpster behind some offices :upsidedow

I think it had a 40meg drive, 1meg ram and I know it definitely had a 300 baud modem which I later updated to 2400 heh.

Use to have fun hacking renegade and telegard or convincing the operators to make me co-sysop to use their doorways for access to Lynx and IRC :)

I still got my old SE30 :)

yeah, i had one too. grade 6. does anyone remember LOGO?

14.4 buad, you were flying dude lol.

yeah when I got a 28.8 modem I was stoked.. couldn't afford the $800 10 meg drive though... not to mention it was the size of a standard PC monitor.

My first computer was an Apple IIGS:

Badass machine for it's time...

I remember being able to download a photo from the Burn This Flag BBS in just under a minute - that sucker was screaming fast!!! :pimp

ADG

I have an apple IIe in the basement :thumbsup

I loved my ][+... I had a 300 baud modem, the kind that you actually plunked the phone handset into a special cradle with holes for the mouth and earpiece... Ah, the good old days... when floppy disks were still floppy... :)

Man I had an Apple IIc back in the day. Wish I had kept it.

not counting programming on my ti-58 programmable calculator, I started out on an Apple ][ plus

good times...


innocent times....


hacking didn't have the fear of illegality then that it has now

That's where I started. Turtle LOGO in elementary school. BASIC in 7th grade. :1orglaugh

yea I had an apple ][, apple gs, apple ][c, ummm yea.

I started with an Apple but not until 1994.

I had my first apple as a kid in 1987 or something like that. All in one unit with a tiny black and white screen and two floppy drives.

][e's were the computer of choice in school when i was back in elementary school. number crunchers rocked. later when i was in junior high the elementary school was selling the suckers off for like $10, me and buddy both bought one and started learning basic on them because we had no games and that's about all we had that we could do. funny old pieces of shit, memories... lol

awww so much love for the old apple rig... sweet isnt it... good times

I still have Atari 800 XL somewhere in my house and parts of ZX Spectrum computers as well :)

I still play games on my Atari XE once in a while. Motherfucker has a lightgun! Ballin'!
