Congrats on the 50th show, guys!
I started out writing Fortran on punch cards and then I moved up to using the Commodore PET in the school library. Around 1984 I bought my first Commodore 64 with a 300 Baud modem, and then set up my own BBS a couple of years later. I went through a few modems… 300 Baud, 2400 Baud, 14.4, then I got a 54k modem. From the C64 I moved up to the Amiga2000 where I surfed the Internet using the Lynx text browser! It used to take me 30 minutes just to download and compile your average JPG image, so porn was teeeedious! ;P
In 1999 I got me first “PC,” a Pentium II I think. I remember it had a HUGE 12GB hard drive…
Hey guys,
Just got through listening to EP50 of the AGP - congratulations!
This brought back some memories for me listening to the screech of my first modem (2400bps) as I dialled up the local BBS’ - but only after 9pm in case anyone called.
Unlike most others, I missed out on the Commodore/Amiga bandwagon, instead I ended up with a Dick Smith unit as my first computer. Think of the Tandy TRS-80, but without the colours! Loading games off tapes was excruciating, particularly when the tape had stretched and you weren’t sure it would load.
Like you Dave, the first IBM PC I had access to was the XT my parents purchased. It was on this I learnt the ultimate rule - command.com is GOD. And you don’t delete it when you are cleaning up space on the massive 10MB HDD.
Anyways, great work on the show.
Cheers,
Matt.
