I had friends who had the Commodore 64. Others had the Trash 80 (TRS80), I had a Tandy 1000. We were all so jealous when one guy got the Commodore 128.

The old school printers where the papers were attached to each other and you had to tear off the sides of each page?


I hated those.

Accordion fold, impact printers... I know a company that was still using those as recently as 5 years ago... Those things are work horses and last forever.

BTW, how are you enjoying your book?

I used mine in my contracting business, mid '80s. The prompt when you turned it on said "Press play on tape". But I had the cutting edge floppy disk player so I would start loading, go to the bathroom, make a sandwich, watch some news, then go see if it had loaded.
Internet was called "Billboard" I think. Too complicated for me but a friend published 3 newspapers on it.

yes that’s what i had in high school/college i guess in hindsight it was more of a word processor than computer but it did use 3.5” disk storage which was state of the art, right???

I think that was later than the floppys. Any one miss those old green screens?

And here I was reminiscent of cell calls after 9pm and how fast 28.8 dialup was.
