Who needs more than 64k anyway - I've nothing but fond memories of...actually I think about 80% of my time on the machine was spent watching loading screens, so maybe those memories are not all that fond

Hey Hey 16k,
What does that get you today?
You need more than that for a letter
Old school rampaks are much better!

I havent been around long enough to experience a c64, but the 386/486 generation was fun.

Heard of the BBC micro? i owned like 3 of them, one had a might 640K of ram, with a 32K ram pack, that thing was awesome. I just looked it up wikipedia, and my one didnt match either model A or B:

it was a big old beast, it had a wired keyboard on a cord, and im pretty sure it had 640K of ram.... that thing was awesome, had 5"1/2 drive and 3"1/4 inch drives, and i have various assorted games for it, And amongst the stuff i had for it was a DOS interpreter, which was rather strange, as it ran on a BBC micro. I have it around somewhere, i aught to go dig it out and play those oldschool classics :P

I had a Sinclair ZX Spectrum 128K +2 (the one with the built in cassette recorder) that was a cool machine. It was so cool that it took cassette tapes not floppy disks so you could broadcast the games over the radio if you wanted.

I miss it I still had it untill my mum threw it out the other year and I'm still bitter about it.
