Ah, those were the days. These days we just go down to Circuit City and rummage through the bins.
What?

"OS/2 ready". Now there is a blast from the past.

I remember.
Recently I saw some pictures of a house that has not been changed since the 1960s or 70s. What fascinated me most was the fact that the owners were STILL using a rotary phone. I had not seen one in years!

First PC: Black, small, 16MBs memory.
Would take FOREVER for a naughty picture to download. :)

If only it was OS/2 WARP!
Oh, the agonizing recoveries using the 23 diskette set to install it... yow. Major painful flashbacks here...
(had to do with our programmers taking a 4GB disk, formatting it to 3.9 GB and leaving the .10 unformatted... any uncontrolled shutdown/reboot required a version of twister with the diskettes to boot the danged thing back into life)
To: Rebelbase
Loved that...it was tech porn for us early adopters!

I used to read each page too! We had a subscription of Computer Shopper for many years. Bought some nice 8088, 286, 386s back in the day from the custom builders that advertised in there. I remember my father and I reading an article in there on a company named Apple back in the mid to late 80s perhaps and us debating on investing $500 in it back then believe it or not. We didn’t unfortunately!
To: Flick Lives
Wow. Look at that ad:
“...History-Making Low Cost... $1999.00”
That’s the one thing I DON’T MISS.

I was looking at old
TRS ads the other day.
These will blow your minds.

I had not seen one in years!Sounds like my father-law's house. He still has a tube TV and shag carpet too. My son says that it "is like stepping into a time warp at his house."

Read it religiously back in the day.

I didn’t know current systems could still route pulse-dialed calls.

I built my first computer in 1975 in my USAF barracks room in North Dakota. A year later I upgraded to a 1200 baud cassette tape “mass storage” and 4 kbyte static RAM.
