Old computers. It was all so simple back in the day, and exciting. I remember the first computer I ever saw at a friend’s house, a Commodore VIC-20. My first computer, a Commodore 64, didn’t even have a storage device. I can remember spending hours on that thing punching in programs in Basic and then begging my mom not to turn off the computer because I’d lose all my work. Then we got an Apple IIc with a monochrome monitor. Hell, I can remember spending DAYS on that thing playing games, I had so many pirated games it was awesome. Then we finally upgraded to a Mac SE FDHD with a 40MB hard drive w/ two 3.5” high-density drives. That thing cost like $3,500 back in the day (‘89). Hell, I can remember going to college and I was broke as a joke, but I wanted to build a PC so I grabbed an old 386 from work and put in the cheapest 486 motherboard I could find, a 486SLC that cost $99. I dropped in a 850MB Maxtor HD in that sucker, I was like WTF am I ever going to do with that much HD? So I partitioned it with 250 MB for Windows 3.1 and 600MB for Linux. I think I spent like three weeks trying to download Red hat Linux from the university, but the connection was so shitty that my modem kept getting disconnected. Finally got it up and running, except that I didn’t have enough Ram to play Doom so I had to swipe memory from my parents Mac Quadra every time I wanted to play it, and then put the memory back when I was done. Ah, those were the days... Now I hate computers.
