and arguing over the computer with the colored screen....

[The Architect]

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".

OMG!  I thought we were the only ones that owned that!

[Speeddog]

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

Those were indeed the days.

My 1st computer; lasted for 15 years

I still have mine and it still works. I have a few programs and games. I take it out and set it up about once a year.

My favorite game for it was some dungeons and dragons game, I'd always try to get down to the deepest level possible without having to kick the dragon kings ass and thereby beat the game too soon.

We had a few of those in High School. It was really my first hands on introduction to computers. I used to get frustrated with the "Syntax error" messages though. In Jr. High the school had one TRS80 in a special room and only some of the kids got to use it. (Mostly to play games) I well remember doing a report for Community college on one of these.



I thought it was the bomb!

I remember when my dad went big time at the office, and got his first computer:


In high school, we were cutting edge:

[somegirl]

I learned to program on a Heathkit H89 at home.



At school I used a PDP-11.



Did someone mention Fortran?  I started out with WATFIV.

yes, I'm a total geek.

[Duck-Stew]

I had the Commodore tri-fecta...

VIC20
C64
