  • Hi Guest - Did you know?
    Hot Topics is a Safe for Work (SFW) forum.

This is sad. . . So sad. . .

Hmmmpf... The first computer I worked on was an IBM 360 Model 30. It was bigger than the furnace in the basement. It had a whopping 32K of memory plus another 32K memory expansion unit the size of a dishwasher. It had no CRT display at all. It had a teletype that printed operator information on paper. You punched cards for input. It did have DASD but I don't remember the disk capacity. You had a deck of punch cards that you read into the card reader to IPL (boot) the system. It also had a whole bunch of little flashing lights and dials and switches that looked really cool.

I recently saw the fifth computer ever built in a museum in Melbourne. Most toasters have more computing power now. I think it ran on whale oil......:eek:
 
our first was a TRS-80 back when i was in 4-5th grade, then we had a tandy 1000 when i was in high school, then we had an 8086/88 when i got to college in 1991 and it at 6 mhz, and 10 on turbo. Then i got an 75 mhz intel machine with win 95 on it in 1995. it was all down hill after that. :lol:

I also remember Commodore 64s and Vic 20s. Not sure about anything much about them, but the Commodores were supposed to be the cool thing when I was about twelve. A question- who remembers when programmes were loaded on Philips compact cassettes!?:eek:

Cassettes? What's one of those? Sounds French or something...
 
Who remembers the Apple Lisa and IIe computer systems from the early 80's? I do! !oops!

"'Psychological reliability' is the kind that makes an office worker secure.
The Lisa floppy-disc drive is unique in this respect. On the Lisa computer,
you can't yank your floppy disc out any time you want to." (Hey, we've all been *there*, huh guys ? ;) )

Amazing.
