I'm sorry, I know I shouldn't laugh but the last 3 words of your post had me in stitches!!
Quote - My first was an Atari something or other. I can't recall the name. I think it was an ST4. People still use them and like them. 64K memory with a slot for an extra 64k memory card. Everything was on floppies. Mega 10 meg hard drive. the modem was one of the ones you put your phone on, and waited till the next day for it to connect. Of course, the net at that time was nothing but BBS's and flaming. I still participate in newsgroups, and there's still flaming lol. My first PC was a 90 with like 15 megs of memory or some such. I still have it, and the sucker still works lol. I also have a 250, a 350, a 500, an 800 and an 850. None of those work actually lol. Mostly cause they're sorta in pieces. The computer I have now is a piece of crap too. It shouldn't be. It has everything it needs to be a decent computer, but the guy that built it did something wrong so it has some serious problems. Then he died.
