My dad, who is a software engineer, used to bring home old punch cards for us kids to play with when we were growing up. I think we used to color on them with crayons among other things! How funny! Boy, does that bring back memories. The good ole days when Cobal was a program, not a god(s)!  |

I used BBC's at school, not sure what the tech name for them was. Those ones that you could program the little turtle with. They were very green. My mum bought us an Atari 250 so we could 'learn' at home, so we played New Zealand Story and Out Run. We gave it away to the school many years later to use in the music dept to program keyboards. Very weird.  |

The 1st PC I owned actually was only around 6 years ago and it was some real bag of crap thing cos I didnt have to much cash back then - mind you I still dont have much cash now - But the credit card came to the rescue

My first PC was an Apple Performa (circa 1994) I think it had an 80mb hard drive and 28mb's of RAM. Of course there was my super fast 14.4bps modem.
How did I every get anything done!!!!!!! ;D ;D
