25 year old laptop---still works!!

I had to look that up, never heard of them

My first "computer" was a Vic-20 used from 'a friend' after he bought a Commodore 64 or 128 forget. Anyhow that damn thing nearly cured me from wanting to ever SEE a computer again. Old TV set for a display, audio cassette recorder for a "hard drive." Laborously type in lines and lines of a program, only to have it die at the end, or the recorder screwed up and didn't properly "save" it. And finding the program again on tape was a neat trick, as well.

Next, bought at a "hamfest"--ham radio get together and fleamarket-- was a Bleeding Edge 8088. Originally had no hard drive. Had two floppies and a 20mb hard drive. I took it apart to clean it later on, and found a receipt for the hard drive and controller inside. The hd and controller had been purchased USED--for over TWO THOUSAND dollars. It had a small amber CRT display.
