remember when you figured out how you could use BOTH sides of a 5in floppy by cutting a notch on the other edge?

I remember dialing into the local university's MUD with an acoustic coupled modem in my grade school computer lab. Good times.

[Schmitty]

Haha, I had a Ti-994A.  It didn't come with Bill Cosby though 

[lethe]

I always had the oddball things, other kids had the Atari, I had this......




These days I'm still stuck playing with floppies and DOS in that some of the older style control systems I deal with are still all "old school".

That's $3398 in 1980 (or whatever year this was) dollars. It would be more than that now!

I remember in Engineering Methods, putting FORTRAN code on punch cards and running them through the VAX mainframe.

I had that same computer too!  Also had a Tandy TRS-80.  Forget the hard drive, I remember having a tape recorder for backup.  My first Apple was the Apple IIC.  I loved that thing!  In grade school we used the Commodore PET computers.  My friend had a Commodore 64 and I wanted one soo badly.  I still remember the commercial for that, and the music they played.  Kinda makes me wonder about computers 10 years from now.
