I forget the specs on my first one, but I remember paying about $4K to have it built...:nerd:...Ben
I remember getting one (can’t recall what brand) back in the late 80’s and getting my son to hook me up on this thing they called the “internet.” I instantly recognized that this was the biggest thing in my lifetime, and discussed with my techno literate son how we could make a buck out of the coming revolution. My financial acumen was/is so acute that I never figured out how to profit a single dime out of the remarkable innovation, but sure have flushed out a fortune through it and accessing it.
My first, a Commodore in the early 80's. About the only thing I ever did on it was play chess. It was so slow that at the highest level I could come in, make a play and go back to mowing for a few more laps--and then repeat :help:
Mine was a Commodore 64 somewhere around 1983. I still have it in the attic where it has been stored for the past 32 years. I'll be digging it out soon in preparation for moving. I'll see if it still works.
Mine was a 64 as well. I have to confess I no longer have it:flush:
