First Computer

My first computer was a Sinclair ZX Spectrum around 1985 I remember the magazines where you had to type over the code for your computer like, Computer Totaal/Hobby Computer Club Magazine hours and hours of typing and then nothing because of a typo somewhere in your code. The use of Audio cassettes on your compact cassette players/recorders, what a relief when we could use the floppy drives. Then the schoolyard trading started to trade games or software. Running home from school to see your new games loading waiting and then....,,, fail due to wear or bad sectors.

I have seen all these things and I'm getting old.

Internet

A friend buys an Internet CD-ROM at a gas station and spends hours calling me because it doesn’t work—he didn’t even have a phone line.
