and goddamn if somebody had VGA or *gasp* SVGA, they were the pimp sh!t. and quadruple speed cd-roms! :Q

aw nuts, my 486 had two! two cdroms! Compress the 200+MB drive to 700+ and it ran 95 with almost no problem, kinda ran 98 too. Should make it a project to make the sucker to run 2k.

or did anyone ever consider making their super nintendo into an Apple IIs? not sure if that's the right model, but one of the apple computer was essentially a super nintendo.

cigarettes were expensive when you had to pay 90 cents from a machine, but you could get them for 25 cents a pack everywhere else.
i grew up in alaska,10 years old before we got tv(no stations there then)7 years old before we got our first phone.
matinees at the theater were a dime😉


i was 14 when i saw my first computer(used to go to school an hour early just to play on it)

we got the pong then the atari system then coleco intellivision

Anyone remember the ADAM computer? It was just a Coleco Vision with a keyboard, and it used cassette tapes instead of floppies. It was good enough to learn BASIC on though.
