Man I remember having to buy cassette tapes so I could save stuff at school on the PET. Then a few years later trying to find single sided 5 1/4 floppies at Radioshack.

:( my first computer was a 486sx33

286 12mhz here. Or was it 16? No clue, but it was an NEC and it had a whopping 20mb harddrive.

I had a C64. I mainly played games on it :p

Took about 25-30mins to load games on it. I remember when Toys 'R' Us sold them for £2.99 or £3.99.

I remember playing Henry's House and California games.

I remember when I got my floppy drive for the C64, thought I was the coolest kid in school. ;)

Just was wondering if I am Old School.

This was my first computer

My family got this when I was 6 or 7 and I knew how to program basic by the time I was 10. And yes I do remember loading from and saving to a tape drive.

By the way I still have this computer, games, controllers, tape drive and it all works. I hooked it up 6 months ago and to my shock everything is still in working order.
