In 1984 I had a 66' Mustang with a hopped up V8.... had no concern or cares about a PC back then!

Mine was a '69 Z-28 Camaro, but I had to use Macs and PCs at work. I was fascinated by them.

Just had a flashback... remembered the reason I can touch type 200wpm on a keyboard. In grade 8 I took typing class for some reason. They had this fancy new electric typewriter called
the IBM Selectric. 10 years later I sat down to my first IBM PC. I looked down at the keyboard and recognized it immediately. The rest they say, is history! Just a sidenote, the first Selectric
was introduced in 1961.

RealNeil · Nov 19, 2017

Selectric,.......
Wasn't that the one with the little steel balls with different typefaces on them?
Change the ball and then you had a new font to work with.

IBM made a shit-ton off of that idea.

RealNeil · Nov 19, 2017

Yes. My mom used one at work. She had tons of font/balls for it. It was loud.

Gonna hit 40 in a few months. Feel 80 and really pissed off all the time. Definitely gonna be a cranky ass of an old man.

Waldorf · Nov 20, 2017

sooo, another vote in the +46 bracket.

first thing i had connected to a screen, was an Atari in the 70s, friends had C64s in the 80s, i waited for the Amiga.
And my typing classes were pre-electric :cry:

Used pc's at/for work since the early 90's, but again i waited till stuff was faster (athlon 1ghz) and had better graphics (GF 2 MX 400) in 2001 before buying one.

do love the PS (had 1 to 4) when not playing "alone", but prefer KB/mouse and the higher IQ/custom settings the pc allows.

Apparently, there is evidence to suggest that angry people often don't live to old age, too much tension and blood pressure, based on that theory you probably should have gone long ago!

1970: computers = punch cards

1970: I had a '64 356 Porsche hardtop cab, "still have it!". '64 VW = 40 hp, '64 Porsche = 88hp

I just feel me dying would make to many people happy. I refuse to contribute to anyone's happiness. It's against the troll code.

jaggerwild · Dec 19, 2017

WOW just found this forum, I literally died in May. The doc who revived me said he paddled me three time's, third time i took a breath sat up and said "I was just talking to some friends". Its been a long strange trip, 54 years young oh and 1 heart stint.

I don’t know if I’m really a nerd or not but my first computer was a Macintosh classic 2. I love technology and I am now 40 years old. I Remember using the Apple 2 c back in the day. I also had the Atari 2600. And also a pong system. I’ve been on Tpu since February 25,2006.
