Re: "Old computers did it better!"
Hi Esgici and Friends:
What a revival.- Remembering when all begans.-
My first was a Czwerny Sinclair ZX1000: 2 k ram, audio cassette, termal printer, B&W screen.
My second a Sinclair 2068: 42 K ram, audio cassette storage, parallel printer, Color screen
My third a Commodore 128: a good machine by that time; up to 4 5 1/4 diskkette drives, RGB monitor, parallel printer, modem.
Afterwards PC.-
BACK TO THE BEGINING.
With regards.
Eduardo

The first program code I've wrote in my life, was for an IBM 370 in FORTRAN, using punched cards (one for each line)serge_girard wrote:How about this:

Re: "Old computers did it better!"
My first (not owned simply worked in) computer was IBM System 3. A main frame with 4 KB (Yes, 4096 bytes !) "core memory" (RAM for actual jargon) and 96 column punched cards for data I/O
After introduced PC concept, quickly launched this wonderful ( "Personel" ) world
These was really oldy-goldy days

Hmm.
My first one was a PC with Windows 95. So, I am the latest entrant here.

East or West HMG is the Best.
South or North HMG is worth.
...the possibilities are endless.

COBOL and RPG, kills a lot more neurons per program line than BASIC... I know, because I've programmed both too (specially RPG)srvet_claudio wrote:Now I understand because your codes are so clean,Rathinagiri wrote:Hmm.
