I remember writing programs for a Macintosh 512k. About 1985? I also had a Tandy home computer that I had written programs for in original Basic!

I used to play the original video arcade games. Anyone remember Omega Race?

How about Colecovision?


Let no one yield, we're on the field where deeds eclipse the sun; where the brave are told on a thread of gold, the tapestry is spun. As they speak of dreams, their armor gleams, this calm before the storm... Where all can see their destiny, the bishop takes the pawn.

    I remember when the only form of input was punched cards.


    We can inspire others through witness so that one grows together in communicating. But the worst thing of all is religious proselytism, which paralyzes: “I am talking with you in order to persuade you.” No. Each person dialogues, starting with his and her own identity. The church grows by attraction, not proselytizing.    - Pope Francis

    My dad worked on those computers.

    Anyway, to add a new one . . .

    I remember when only mainframes existed and accessing one took a "dumb terminal".
