<legumbre> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TK_95 <-- this was my
           first computer
<legumbre> made in brazil!
[ijp is one of those lame younguns who started on *cough* windows
     95 *cough*]
<kek> I never had enough memory to run Windows
<tgunr_> Still have the 300 baud modem
<tgunr_> telephone hand cradle :)
<tgunr_> yep, just to know all th opcodes by memory
<legumbre> oh man, you had a modem
<tgunr_> and a paper tape reader/punch, I wrote an interface to a
         TTY-33
<tgunr_> which served as my printer
<jlf> a modem?!  i had to whistle into the telephone, and it
      wasn't easy with chapped lips let me tell you.
<technomancy> luxury!
<turbofail> i had to transmit all my bits by throwing punchcards!
<fledermaus> bits?
<turbofail> yes, bits
<fledermaus> all we had was an uncollapsed quantum superposition
             in the monobloc. 
<technomancy> back in the day we were grateful to have just the zeroes!
<jlf> technomancy: i remember, we had to code everything in unary
<ijp> you had whole zeros? we had to make do with broken ones
      found in the street!
<technomancy> well when I say zeroes they were more like Cs that
              we patched up with wire, but they were like zeroes
              to us!
