re: The 1980s were peak coolness for computers

I always wanted a DEC Rainbow and Kaypro.

I thought they were cool.

Can't remember what OS they used.

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

Yep, my cousin had an NES and wanted me to get one, I said "Nope". I had a C64 with hundreds & hundreds of games and a Colecovision to go with it.

We lived next door so we always bopped back and forth to play whatever we wanted. Best of both worlds.

C64 was one of the best unspoken highlights for home gaming.

I have not. But didn't picture him as an 80s pornstar look a like. That's interesting.

My Vic 20 with the cassette drive was the tits. Vintage dot matrix printer closed the loop. Those were the days.

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 VIC 20

That was my first computer. I remember making a BASIC program that looked like to generally human figures fricking, but the "he" had a very unrealistically large dong.

I had one of those. The dad of a girl I was dating let me borrow some of his cassette based apps to copy for myself.

I also had Gorf cartridge.

You wudn't about shite unless you hit up the Baton Rouge BBSes back in the day.
