It's a small world after all @atomcollector!

  • I was first CompuServe, then for awhile I thought AOL was the Internet, then I discovered AOL was just a box surrounding a very small part of the real Internet. Will never forget that sound the modem made when I dialed up! haha
    • yes, get ready to ridemcowboy!

That noise haunts me! I also had a ZX81 and used to record programmes from Tomorrow's World with a cassette deck so I have binary overload!

haha yes, it's a small world after all!!!
My first computer was a Timex Sinclair with

  • 2k of memory
  • cassette tape "hard drive"
  • TV for the monitor
    • Raced home from the Navy commissary and hooked it up.
    • Broke out the manual.

Print "Dave" and it did!!!
For x = 1 to 10
Print "Dave"

Then I made it scroll continuously moving right and left
