My first computer was a Commodore vic-20. That was back in the 80's so you young people probably don't know what I'm talking about. :lol
It was a keyboard you hooked up to the tv. You had to load the programs with a cassette recorder. Some of you may not even know what that is! The only game I had for it was all text. No graphics. It would type a sentence such as "You are in the living room. You see a box." Then you would have to type something like "Open the box." And it would tell you what was in the box, etc.
My next computer was a Commodore-64. I thought that was the neatest thing since sliced bread! It had graphics and pretty good games. Anyone ever heard of M.U.L.E.? That was my favorite game.
Then I got a Tandy from Radio Shack. It cost $1000.00 and you couldn't upgrade it. That was back when computers became obsolete within several months.
My next computer was a Packard Bell. I used it mostly for games, but it finally died in the late 90's so I bought a Playstation. Then I went to GameCube. I got so aggravated at some of the games that I quit playing them altogether. Then I decided I wanted another computer so I bought a reconditioned one at a local store. I got dialup internet service and it worked ok for a while, but then I got some really nasty spyware on my computer. I got a recovery disk from a local dealer, but that computer never was the same. The recovery disk deleted my modem drivers, and I never could get it to work right again. I bought another reconditioned computer from the same store and it worked all right for a while, but then I started having problems with the phone line. It kept saying the phone line was in use. I finally managed to get connected with Dell, set up an account, and order a new computer.
I bought a Dell Dimension 4700. Then I got broadband from the cable company, and I'm finally happy.
