My first computer was the Texas Instruments ti99/4a. I chose it over the Commodore vic20, because it seemed to have better sound and graphics, and at the time there was more children's educational software available for it than the vic20. Of course, the Commodore 64 was soon to surpass it in every way. The OS was TIBASIC, so I learned to program in BASIC. I was an industrial electrician at the time, and this was sort of the start of my later career as a programmer/integrator. It had 16k of memory, and the only affordable data storage device was a cassette deck. For a monitor one used a color TV and a RF modulator. Ah, those were the good ole days, when things were measured in kilobytes rather than gigabytes, and one had to actually learn a computer language to operate a computer, rather than just click a mouse. “In those days spirits were brave, the stakes were high, men were real men, women were real women and small furry creatures from Alpha Centauri were real small furry creatures from Alpha Centauri.” ― Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
Well, that didn't work. I tried using the HTML editor as it didn't seem to eat my white space. Alas, as soon as I posted, all my white space dissapeared. Here is the message as I meant it to be:

I had a Commodore Vic 20, then a couple years later a Commodore 64, when I was a kid. I got jealous when I found out that the neighbor had gotten an Apple IIc, though it's not like I knew what the heck to do with their computer any more than I did my own, which was very little.
I didn't really know how to do anything with a computer until I started working with a Pentium 166 clone with Windows 95, and the first computer I ever bought myself was an eMachines 366i.
I had a Commodore Vic 20, then a couple years later a Commodore 64, when I was a kid.
I guess I'm showing my age, I was in my late twenties, with a couple of young kids at home. The kids loved playing with the computer, especially TI's version of space invaders. I wrote a graphical version of the old card game "concentration" in BASIC that they liked also.
After I learned to program in 'C', I started to hate BASIC.
“For instance, on the planet Earth, man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much—the wheel, New York, wars and so on—whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man—for precisely the same reasons.” ― Douglas Adams
"Good old days"? Lol, online experience was more like using a teletype machine and high end graphics was a game of pong. Some things are nostalgic but not necessarily good, I like advancement.
Even if I had an old machine setting in front of me right now I think I'd get bored with it pretty quickly. Even I'm getting up there in years now I like a challenge and learning new things. Measured in kilobytes? No thanks! :smileyhappy:

I don't think regular people could even connect online to anything back then, could they?

There were bulletin boards in the mid 80's, I was on a few of them. That's about it for the average person.

Actually I thought the graphics were pretty good, very klunky to program ( hexadecimal code ) , but good. Of course it seems like everything in your youth looks better the older you get. :>)>
Well, I like some advancements. A pet peeve of mine, is the use by MS of robber-baron tactics worthy of Standard Oil to take over the whole computer world. That's one of the reasons I switched to Linux.

I wish I still had that creaky old ti99/4a, it's probably considered an antique now. I've read that hobbiests are even working on a version of Linux for it,
I learned Basic in high school in the mid-70's... on a TTY machine. Someone smart thought it might be a good idea to take it as an "elective". Was good for a lot od ASCII art printouts.
Bought a C64 when they came out so I knew what to do. The real fun came when I got my hands on a Hesmon cartridge and learned 6502/6510 assembler code (long story, but I built my own card and programmed an EPROM). My first 'project' was to build an interface to an FM audio subcarrier (SCA) demodulator/decoder that I built as a home project and the code to display/manipulate the data stream.
The 80's were fun. Been coding on various devices in various languages ever since.

I haven't written a line of code since 2003. I thought about going back to 'C' ( my favorite ), until I discovered I'd stupidly lost my 'C' library of functions and programs I had acquired or written myself over the years. It would probably all come back to me if I could look at that stuff.

Well, that didn't work. I tried using the HTML editor as it didn't seem to eat my white space. Alas, as soon as I posted, all my white space dissapeared. Here is the message as I meant it to be:
My first computer was the Texas Instruments ti99/4a. I chose it over the Commodore vic20, because it seemed to have better sound and graphics, and at the time there was more children's educational software available for it than the vic20. Of course, the Commodore 64 was soon to surpass it in every way.
The OS was TIBASIC, so I learned to program in BASIC. I was an industrial electrician at the time, and this was sort of the start of my later career as a programmer/integrator.
It had 16k of memory, and the only affordable data storage device was a cassette deck. For a monitor one used a color TV and a RF modulator.
Ah, those were the good ole days, when things were measured in kilobytes rather than gigabytes, and one had to actually learn a computer language to operate a computer, rather than just click a mouse.

I had a Commodore Vic 20, then a couple years later a Commodore 64, when I was a kid.
I guess I'm showing my age, I was in my late twenties, with a couple of young kids at home. The kids loved playing with the computer, especially TI's version of space invaders. I wrote a graphical version of the old card game \"concentration\" in BASIC that they liked also.
After I learned to program in 'C', I started to hate BASIC.
“For instance, on the planet Earth, man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much—the wheel, New York, wars and so on—whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man—for precisely the same reasons.” ― Douglas Adams

I learned Basic in high school in the mid-70's... on a TTY machine. Someone smart thought it might be a good idea to take it as an \"elective\". Was good for a lot od ASCII art printouts.
Bought a C64 when they came out so I knew what to do. The real fun came when I got my hands on a Hesmon cartridge and learned 6502/6510 assembler code (long story, but I built my own card and programmed an EPROM). My first 'project' was to build an interface to an FM audio subcarrier (SCA) demodulator/decoder that I built as a home project and the code to display/manipulate the data stream.
The 80's were fun. Been coding on various devices in various languages ever since.

I haven't written a line of code since 2003. I thought about going back to 'C' ( my favorite ), until I discovered I'd stupidly lost my 'C' library of functions and programs I had acquired or written myself over the years. It would probably all come back to me if I could look at that stuff.
