I learned on a Commador 64 that you hooked up to a tv.

Perspective here, the average PC Hard Drive these days is 1 Terabyte. That is 16,000 times more storage than those days.
Average RAM these days 8 Gigabytes.
8 gigabytes RAM is 8,388,608 times More ram than The Optional 256 k those days.
Processor speed? Dare say Billions of times Faster and Many more Cores than those days, ALL That for a Small Fraction of the cost back then. Considering Inflation, it is Mind Boggling! :eek: One can now buy a NICE PC With all peripherals included for about $600.00 Today's price! That would likely translate to about $100.00 max back then!

Yep. I learned to program on an IBM 1620 Mark 2, with 4K of memory!! Now if my computer has less than 4G, I'm not satisfied.

OMG same here. I coded in basic a lot when I was a kid. Some memories...

Besides reviving memories of Mike's serial banning string, it's an interesting reminder.

At one time IMSAI was a world leader in floppy disks, etc. So was Elephant.

Were are they now?
