My first computer was a commodore vic 20. Then later I got the commodore 64. Then a 286, and the upgrades kept coming after that.
I don't belive Iwould buy the new 64 because even though it is a dual processor, it is only 1.8 dual processor. Plus it runs linux and I prefer windows 7. I still have vista (64) on my old pc, but my laptop has windows 7 and I prefer it. I will probably upgrade to windows 7 on my pc very shortly. Vista is still too problematic.

Everything old is new agian!!! I have an original Commodore 64 that still works better than modern video game consoles. I also own an Atari 2600 with original box and a few hundred carts. Then I have an original NES with robbie the robot, still working like new. I know this is not a video game site so most of that is going over some heads. What if you still had a 12in GI. Joe action figure sill in the box Or, Original Hot Wheels set with that orange track in the box?? Some of you may remeber the childhood toys worth thousands today. I also have my first IBM 286 and windows 3.somthing in the original boxes Learning DOS/C++ and typing 100 lines of code for a screen saver. Ahh the good old days!!! Remember the Dot Matrix Printers? Or your first Fax??? |

Had the original C64 with dual 5.25 128k floppy drives. But that was not actually our first computer we had the Timex/Sinclair 1000 with the 16k expansion pack. Man I remember when we thought the C64 was fast...... Now i think is painful to get one one of our old P3 2.8Ghz Xenon machines here at work when we need to run a 32bit App that will not run on our new machines.  |
