called out "working from home" with a nondescript "stomach thing" nef :/

The C64 would've had better graphics and sounds, but I do appreciate that video. The sounds are definitely Atari 2600 caliber and the graphics are probably just a little beyond the 2600 -- maybe Vic 20 level.

I miss dial-up BBS systems. I know many are now on the intenet and you can telnet to them, but I miss the good old days of dialing up the local BBS and reading/posting to FidoNet.

My A3000 is almost done. I put in a SCSI card reader and will be transitioning the hard drive to CF cards. After that, I need a new project -- maybe an A1000 or A4000.

This is one area I pity the young people on. The old days of computing and the 80s were awesome.

I'm talking about systems before that. Back when you had lots of choices -- Commodore, Atari, etc. It was much more interesting and fun back then.

& sometimes, "Dad's IBM PC"

I didn't even have a PC compatible until 92 or 93, and I shared it with my brother while in school. I didn't build my own PC until 95. Before that, it was all Commodore.

So it was better before then, then things got worse, then better again?

A PC was required for college. 640K and dual floppy goodness.
That's when I was assimilated.

The early versions of Windows were awful, so I'd say you're probably right. Although, even in the the mid to late 90s, there were some awesome PC games.

I know...though I spent most of that time playing snes or ps1 games because my 133 MHZ AMD K5 couldn't handle anything worth playing. Then I got a computer with Win ME :\

This customer tried to pay in counterfeit. I responded, "We don't accept Monopoly money here."
He looked like he was about to shit bricks then forked over a real $20 & jetted out the door.

My first computer was a P4. I was pretty late to the party.

I stayed in DOS until the bitter end. 3.x was the 1st windows installed, & only because of the many delays for W95.

You should have said "that'll $20 for x and $100 for not calling the cops on your ass for trying to pay with counterfeit bills".

I had a Dell with a Prescott @3.2, it would make me sweat like a pig on summer, hell, even on winter. I loved that thing.

3.x was my first Windows version too, and I think AmigaOS was far better.
