Computers we use today are nothing like the forefathers. In those days you had to know how to use a computer. Not anymore.

I don't think so.. Dad was great electronic guy. He also built a 24in Color Heathkit TV.. I helped him some.. Then I bought and built a 12in B&W Heathkit TV, and built it myself, for my room....

that's really cool - I didn't even know there was a time when you could buy the pieces and build your own
 
Just did a quick search they still make kits! I did a linear, short wave radio and a few others, great stuff usually if you did it right.

nope, honestly, my generation is the last ones to remember that stuff. I didn't see my first window's equipped computer until the fall of 1999. We had first gen Macs and Commedores until then, coolest game we had was the 1984 olympics on the HUGE floppy drive, took probably 15 minutes to load. We still play the old turn table every christmas, though the 1960s elvis christmas record is starting to get really scratchy. some where in the barn is the old Gulf computer system along with Atari. the original nientendo system is in my daughters room as we speak, and I still have a VCR and cassette player. I got my first CD and CD player in 2001 in Washington DC at the now non-existent Sammy Goodie in the Pentagon mall. My first color printer came later that year. and I still know C dos coding.

The only dos coding I remember is "format" Extremely good at creating hours upon hours of work for someone you don't like!:poke:
 
Man If I did not have a stack of boxes and parts for the Gauge testers I would get one! Hey Karl did that one work?
