spratters Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 My own computerized experience started with this: We did have a computer but for the life of me I can't remember what it was. I'll ask my dad when I next see him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest umop_apisdn Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 As far back as I can remember, my family had an IBM PC that took Nintendo-esque cartirdges (actually, more like 8-track-esque cartridges). I remember it being some time before we got a floppy disk drive. I have fond memories of the original Jumpman game, Donkey Kong, some game where you corral a mouse by pushing around bars in a grid, and some flying game that I thought had incredible graphics at the time.

Joyrex Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 I had the computer favoured by 9/10 late 80's/ early 90's electronic musicians: The Atari 1040STe, with 4MB RAM and I had a 15" RGB monitor as well as a black and white 800x600 monitor (the desktop publishing program I used, Calamus, only ran in black and white high-res), and an external 90MB SCSI HDD.

modey Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 Cutting edge tech, joyrex! I remember being so damn excited when I got an 80mb hard drive (it was my first). I could load all of my games onto it! ALL OF THEM! And I didn't need a boot disk anymore!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

modey Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Haha, oh how things have changed. Now I think "ah fuck, now I've only got 3gb free, better delete some stuff". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joshuatxuk Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 shit i start deleting at 20gb free lol and that is more than all of my computers from before 2003 put together I remember the old PC I took to college getting very full as soon as stumbled into the world of non-limewire/k p2p music sharing - it'd go down to "0 mb free" and I'd just restart it to get back a few hundred mbs. The os would become so slow that I'd have windows close in increments when I ran more than a couple programs. Eventually bought an external HD that xmas. It came in what was is the most amazing packaging EVER for the time fixt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cichlisuite Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 my first own computer was a Celeron 366 with 192MB of RAM and nVidia Riva TNT graphics. My father had a Wearnes' 286 DOS computer with the only thing installed was the word processor, which he used to write books with. I crashed that computer once, because I was trying to run Windows on it.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
