Old Nerds Club (all welcome) with poll

[johnspack]

Jeez, a lot of kids. I'm 55. I remember debug in dos! Mov, push... I'll admit I only started with the PC with 256k ram, and only when I got to use one in university. Didn't really get the cpm ones before that....

The only stick I have is for walking and if I shook it at him I would fall over.......

This guy will have at your knuckles if your not cautious
It would be hard to not smile after watching that video. Theyre actually pretty damn vicious in the wild, you should see how they take down a large bird, its downright evil

Literally the best computer peripheral ever

It all began, some 33+ years ago, at the age of 8. When, on Christmas morning in 1983, I unwrapped one of these.

This was also my first "computer" and to be honest I thought it was a console till I saw your picture and I still have it up in the back shed along side 2 Atari 2600's. I was going to say my first computer was the Amiga 2000 but it seems it was this Atari 800XL instead, sweet!

So how old am I then?

Depends on when I die I suppose.

First pc (1989) an XT with CGA graphics.

16 kilobytes of video memory that allowed it to play Warlords 1.

Game AI hasn’t progressed much since then.

I had some real old basic commodore thing, I think in 1984, I remember it had a game with it on a tape cassette that had matchstick men, damn you can't get much more basic than that, although in my younger years at school I used an abacus for maths and a feather pen to write

My real breakthrough was during the 1st Gulf war, sat in an Ops AFV in the Kuwaiti desert and someone came in and dropped a laptop on the table and told me to fire it up and from that day on I became self taught, didn't even have a clue how to switch the damn thing on back then.......... MS Dos 3.0 I think back then as an OS.

40 here. I was a nerdy little kid... then lost my way and tried to be too cool for my own good as a teen. Found my real self by about 18 and been a nerd since. Or maybe "geek" is the better term. Computer wise, the first we had was a Vic-20, but that was really my brother's.

Reminds me of my college days- I started engineering courses when the closest thing to a computer was a mainframe and that was only used for my Fortran class. All of my engineering coursework was pencil/paper/calculator. Thankfully sliderules had been retired by the time I got that far

I had some real old basic commodore thing, I think in 1984, I remember it had a game with it on a tape cassette that had matchstick men, damn you can't get much more basic than that

In 1984 I had a 66' Mustang with a hopped up V8.... had no concern or cares about a PC back then!
