Draco1962 Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Pretty cool! My first computer was the Atari 800XL at about the age of 27 (1988). About 5 years after its intro in 1983. Of course, doing the math, I now have to thank you for making me realize how old I am.. my how time flies! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adultery Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Radio Shack TRS-80 here. Cool doodle! The X was a badass machine! Wish I had one when I was a kid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
celly Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 The Spectum was probably way out of my families reach money wise at the time. We had a Tandy 1000 instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draco1962 Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 My first exposure was via an Apple IIC. My first following was a friend's Vic-20 with said tape drive and 300 bps modem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adultery Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Mm, I miss CoCo! I used to have a game called "Demon Seed" that I LOVED when I was a kid! Oh, and how could I forget Musica? Ahh the memories!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Dot matrix printer, yeah. I remember when I got my bi-directional dot matrix printer after owning a standard dot matrix. Not only was I amazed at the speed, but the thing could actually print backwards! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco1962 Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 When I bought the Atari 800XL it came with a 40 column thermal printer. Ewww. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
