Obsolete Technology: 40 Big Losers

how about the computers that did not have a screen but a teletype paper feed. and to play games on it you had to run a paper tape through a reader to program the game. and in a seperate room was the mainframe that was kept air conditioned below 70 degrees 24/7 year round. the hard disc was in a machine that looked like it had multi layered LP discs, or there was many large reel to reel magnetic tape machines recording everything done.
i also remember that programing early electronic PCs took using the hex decimal language, like the H-88 by heathkit.

 

I'm so old I can remember when Tandy introduced the Color Computer. LOL You saved to a cassette tape.

I'm also so old I can remember when you had dinner with your family and there was no texting, emails, cell calls or anything but conversation and dining.

 

You are not old.

I remember the Vic 20 by Commodore.

 

And you Sir are my new best friend!!!!!!


Oh gosh I'd forgotten about the commodore. LOL We were SO proud when we got a tandy color computer. My Mama and Daddy gave it to me so I could do medical billing from home. We were the envy of our friends.

 

i remember those.

the one i was talking about was in our local college back in the late '60s.

 

We had the punch card system to the main frame when I started in the Accounting field in 1976.

 

Had a Tandy 1000 with no hard drive and dual floppies. No mouse. MS-DOS

Also had a Texas Instruments computer that used cassette tapes as a hard drive.

I remember the Commodore Vic 20. What about the Apple II?
