Our school in Armstrong of all places, was chosen as the test bed in Canada for the then brand new Apple computers, they came in the year before I was in high school if I remember right. Then the scool was chosen again as a test bed for Canada when the Mac computers came into the market. Yup, nothing like wearing out the keyboards of the old Apple computers playing games that you were not supposed to and needing 5 discs to load them into the two drives.

I'll take two please. :D

my name suggestion is now "The Horrible Grey Void"

^^^ But Tom man ...$8500 is a steal ...It's got 2 megs of ram and VGA graphics.

Better than the computers I use at work.

How about Camrose? I think when you drive into town there is a sign that says "....Where Albertans go to die"

I still got at least 100 games in the actual disks! lol My dad just wont lemme hook the thing up lol :( I want to so bad... lol

I remember the VIC-20, or Commodore 64---I used to write programs using Basic on the 64.

10 IF A= then GOTO 30
20 RUN
30 "HELLO"

Or somthing like that...it was pretty basic and easy. A freind of mine got to 2000 lines on a program he made. Lots of fun to pass the time.

Man I remember having programs that we stored on regular audio cassettes.
Computer had a cassette drive, was fantastic.

This processor opperates at a lightning fast 20 mhz... so really if 20 mhz is lightning what is 2.5 ghz

Same lightning actually, electricity still goes the same speed.

Back on topic tho ... old people DESERVE a place to be old and talk about geritol and back pain and stuff.
