How did we cope

Fantastic stuff steve

This reminds me of th4 the first PC I used. It was an IBM Valuepoint 386 with a huge 120MB Hard Disk and a fully loaded 16MB of RAM - a snip at £3200

How quickly times change.

Memory lane.



Acorn Atom with 2kb ram?

Blimey, it's fun looking through old posts (bushy beard time!), especially when pictures were uploaded onto the AVF server. Some of my old linked images have gone away now

Memory Lane,

Dragon 32, revolutionised home computing, no hard drive, had to save everything to a floppy, plugged into a TV, write your own programmes.
Or am I the only one old enough to remember them. Lol

Floppys?

Try tape cassettes. (licking road clean wi' tongue)

I remember Wizard of Wor on the Dragon 32

There seems to be a lot more banter going on in the old threads that I am reading..........I must be getting old

Electrolyte makes an amazing discovery

Thanks in advance if any one can give me some advice on shutter speeds and how to remove ghosting. Obviously I do realise that I may simply be a crap photographer!

Dragon32 - that's advanced. How about the good old BBC Micro?

It amazes me to think that the computers I use in work (IBM Z9's) have the capacity for up to 16 exabytes or RAM. (Exabyte is a 1 with 16 noughts after it).
We'll never fill them with that much memory though... 16 exabytes at todays prices would cost $27 trillion.
You could just about buy the United States with that much money!

We had a Vic 20 - 3.5k of pure Random Access Memory. Trouble is we didn't have the Commodore tape player, so my brother and I would spend hours typing out game code from C&VG, only to have to turn it off at the end of the day and lose the lot.

Why did 'Seany' get banned?

Licking road clean wi` tongue, you were lucky lad, we were poor buggers that had to sweep the road clean first with our nose hairs, still attached to the nose,

My mate had a sinclair (Z8 i think) with the soft blue keys and had a seperate 6" monitor, we spent the whole of one weekend programming from a book that was bigger than the computer and after about 24 hours work we managed to draw an outline of a face on it, boy we thought we were techno wizzkids then.
And its been all down hill ever since
