It was a Wang and I played Zork on it around 1981. Here is a pik I found of it. It used an acoustic modem I also played on the TRS-80 for a bit But ultimately Atari stole my heart How far back do you fags remember? ____________________ No you can't have my rights.

Sadly, that was in 1989.

Byte magazine, typing in several-hundred-line programs, if you typo you're fuked, presumably you could store your program to tape but I didn't know anyone who knew how, so power off and it's gone. Somewhere I have an ancient three-button Wang mouse I picked up at MIT flea for humor value. It's completely ridiculous, like a cigarette box with three slender rectangular depressable planks at the end. ____________________ mundhra: And its crocobody is made of dile.

My first was a Commodore Vic20, same problems as Vas with the typing, and plugged into the back of the TV like an original Nintendo box, using an R/F convertor. I gave up on computers for a few years after that abortion of a machine, then got a pc-xt clone that swiftly became an AT clone (286). This was a top-of- the- line box - VGA, 1meg of RAM ( on board ) 10 meg HD. I was never going to fill the drive or need a bigger box. Fucking stupid salesman. ____________________ The Grumpiest Alpha To surrender to ignorance and call it God has always been premature, and it remains premature today. - Isaac Asimov Direct URL jwalker Token Discordian SSHOLE Posts: 945 Registered: 8/6/2005 Offline 8/13/2006 at 20:38 I had a TRS-80 with a cassette player for storage.
