I see that today's featured article on Wikipedia is the C64.

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 :biggrin:

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 :razz:

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.
