    Have seen them all, and started with a motorola 6800 processor and development kit, that was all machine code. It amuses me when the youngsters sometimes try to tell me I am doing something wrong on a computer, they just dont know the real history, they were born into modern computers.
    blowing my trumpet ! No just amused.

    LOL Brian…

    Cue Monty Python’s Four Yorkshiremen sketch… “We had to punch t’bits in by hand”…

    My first computer was a Commodore 64. I recently bought a near-new one from a flea market. What a useless machine. Although, can’t get away from the history behind it… it’s where I learned DOS.

    “What a useless machine.” The remark of a monday morning, part-brained moron. What have you done with your life besides flap your gums?

    Excellent! Wow. IBM 370 (I think?). Drum storage. No monitors yet, just terminal print outs, punch cards and batch jobs. I miss playing Star Trek on that machine.
    My first micro was the Timex-Sinclair 1000. Don’t laugh - I had the 16KB memory expansion pak!
    Good stuff.

    Lol - there’s some classics on there! I love the ones where they’re trying to show how small the PC is when it’s still huge!

    Busting a gut laughing over these ones. “No computer under 16 k”
