  1. My Apple II GS Woz edition bought in 86 in the original cartons. Been wondering if it has any value. Maybe to a movie prop company.

  3. I am punchcard, paper tape, & green bar paper old. I probably still have my JCL reference handbook around here somewhere.

    • That’s what I learned on but then got upgraded to an electric near the end of the school year. Still not that good at it.

  7. I’m Connie Francis on the jukebox in my grandparents’ Italian restaurant and nickel nut machines old. Pong by the door in a pizza bar old. I’m CP/M 2.2, Wordstar and Snake on the Osborne 1 old. The first computer I had with a real hard drive was a Corona in a suitcase, and the hard drive was 10 megabytes, as big as a shoebox, and sounded like a pachinko game.

    I have a 1995 H.P. Laserjet 5MP that I bought used in the early 2000s and I’m still using it; it still works. I buy toner in bottles and refill the cartridge with a funnel.

    • Still remember being amazed at the quarter Pong machine that I played while drinking my one dollar beer.

  9. Still have my Commadore 64 with huge external hard drive the size of a shoe box in a box in the basement

  10. I think the first Windows machine I used was on DOS 3.1.

    I used to own a Timex Sinclair 1000, Vic 20, and Commodore 64 before eventually moving on to Windows (I think the first home computer was on Windows 98).

    I even got to play around with a NeXT computer–the first multitasking computer that Steve Jobs created when he was tossed out of Apple and before he went back to them.

    I also learned programming on an IBM 370 mainframe.

  11. I have an old SONY laptop that has windows 98 on it. I love the programs I have on it so I can’t get it replaced, it weighs a ton compared to my new machine. My brother put 98 on his new desk unit because he said no one now makes viruses to attack that old system. I don’t know about that, but it works for him.

  12. I’m “This is a computer. It weighs five tons” old.
    Got my first computer in 1980. It was a Sinclair ZX80.
