I had noticed it too but figured it was Talk Host boosting the site post numbers so that he can charge more for the advertising. He's really pretty obvious about it. Does some in his name and I figure he has other posting names as well. Sameless Capitalism! Talk Host: It's a joke - I'm just kidding!

My first computer was an Apple 2E (25-30 years ago. Later I switched to a PC because of software. Five years ago I switched back to a MAC. I am not an Apple lover of all their products. I have 2 ITouches Apple desktop & Mac Book pro. I have my name on a list to buy the IPAD 3G. Apple is the best. I have taken their one-to one classes regularly for almost 3 years now.
It is the BEST! |

My first computer was a Gateway. I think they're out of business. I loved the cow boxes but their tech support was just horrible.

First Computer
A Timex Sinclair which used a tape recorder/player for memory and a B&W TV for a monitor. Kids played Pong on it. This was followed by an Atari a few years later.

My first set up was the Timex Sinclair with the tape recorder and TV. Too many different computers after that to keep track of. Now an Apple.

Texas Instruments
Didn't anyone else get the TI-99A? Got mine for $50 with the rebate, total cost after all the programs, expansion box, memory upgrade, floppy drives, etc. almost $2k. Those cheap computers really get expensive! Still have it but afraid to plug it in. would probably blow my flat screen. MelZ, did you run the RCA's or did you work on them? I was a tech in Chicago for them before Sperry bought us.

The first computer I worked with was a CDC1604 at the Washington (DC) Navy Yard in 1966. It had 16K of memory! Wow! We have owned several pc's. The first was a Leading Edge Model D in the early/mid 80's. Just took it to recycling. We have had homemade, Gateway, Dell, and Toshiba desktop's and pc's. I use a Toshiba notebook and my wife uses a Gateway notebook. We bought Toshiba notebooks for our grandsons (8 & 11) for Xmas 08. They must be good computers because they're still running.
