Cor Blimey.... they were the days pixels did what you told them to do The pixels goes on, the pixel goes off, the pixels goes on, the pixel goes off.....Dark_Lizerd wrote:You want old??? Sample these words...
Atari 400, Atari 800, Atari 1200, Adam, Coco (Color computer), Tandy (I think), TRS-80, IBM PC, Atari ST, Commodore +4 (It had 4 program built in... and they were not compatible with each other...) Vic-20, Colico-vision (But that may have just been a game machine), Apple, Apple ][, Apple ][c, Mac, Mac 2(Not to be confused with the modern version),... And I remember one that you got as a kit and you put it together yourself...
And that was just the computers....
BTW way you missed a Few... MSX, BBC Micro, ZX81, ZX Spectrum AKA Timex in the states, Jupiter Ace, Dragon and the Tangerine micro kit. Accessories of the day was a stick on green film to make the TV kinder on the eyes, a tape head magnetiser for reliable loads/saves, and some office "Blue-Tac", that sticky putty stuff to stick posters to stop the ZX81 16k RAM pak from wobbling and crashing as you punched '10 PRINT "HELLO WORLD"' into the dead skin keyboard.
The most irritating comment of the day from customer service centres was "The Computer seems to have made a mistake"!
And in a age of glossy mags with double page spread of new box with bigger, faster and smarter buy lines. The most irritating syntax error of the day was "Missing quote at end of line".... if it was smart enough to detect it was missing why couldn't put the missing quote in ???
I should point out the Model is NOT bound_jenny, think very carefully before passing comment (snigger)
