I remember those beige cases stained yellow from cigarette smoke. That was real cool.

OK. Fess up. Who here learned BASIC language in high school? Who played Castle Wolfenstein on a green and black screen monitor? (I think the old two tone monitor was called a CRT?)

I beg to differ. The early 90s were the peak.

First computer I ever fooled with. 1980 Rummel High school

Thing is back then, everything was new, so it was always coolness...

Today, everything is pretty much the same...

I had the Commodore VIC20 before the 64. Still have it. Summer Games was great.

Commodore 64 was like a gift from God for a kid in the 80’s.
