    I don't think many people are going to have pictures of that. My family got its first home computer in 1988.

    I was an Apple ][c OG, programmed in BASIC like a BOSS.

    Later got a 486 33 MHz PC with 2400 baud modem and 4 MB RAM and paid extra to upgrade from 110 to 120 MB HD.



    Next was a P2 laptop with 512 MB RAM, rode that fucker for 8 years.

    Currently on my 8th year of a quad core i7 laptop with 8 GB RAM and dual 500 GB HDs (1 SSD, replaced the original), 17 in screen. Heavy as a bastard and I have to use a wifi dongle because the internal card crapped out. I'm hoping it lasts another few years at least.

    Anyone have a Tandy way back in the day? A friend of mine had one and it had hella games you could only get on those Tandys. They were strange and primitive but addictive. There was one you were a waffle and had to avoid the syrup or something trippy like that.

    I don't think so, but here is Blue Meanies. It was one of my first computer games. I pirated it from the place which taught me BASIC programming. The lady who taught the class was a hard ass about piracy, so I had to wait until she went to the bathroom to quickly copy it.

    Other comp was a Commodore 128, I remember getting them around the same time but I can't recall which came first? I think I got the ADAM first because it was just unusable. At least with the C128 I could type all the code in from the programming magazines so I could have a Space Invaders clone. First machine I built was a 386.
