Whoa, this worked better than I thought it would considering the laziness of you guys, the power outage, and spring break. Ok so we’re at four and unless flapjack drops the ball it might continue for a bit. I agree with bryan though, perhaps this should be question of the day that starts with ‘T’, QotDTSWT… yeah that looks confusing enough…
What was the first computer you ever used?
The first computer I ever used (thank god I’m not as old as bryan) was an Apple ][c. That’s right apple afficianados, that machine was an apple 2e only ‘compact’ hence the c. It only had one internal 5.25 inch disk drive so formatting or copying disks was a pain in the ass. Put one in watch the drive grind away while it loaded 32k or so into RAM. Switch disks, watch it grind out a write. Repeat 7 or 8 times. Remember those things that let you punch a little square out of the corner of a floppy to make it double sided? Anyway it was a decent machine, it was 1986 or so (yeah my folks couldn’t afford a mac at the time) but it got me started. It has a color monitor which was nice and we had an Imagewriter II the king of workhouse line printers. Remember “THINKING…PRINTING…” etc? I had a few games, Where in the world is Carmen Sandiago being the best of them. My neighbor had a IIgs which was an amazing machine, but I guess that is a different story.
ps. I refuse to answer kyle’s question till later. Thesis…
