Write about your first computer.

Roger Wilco was the game I played on a Tandy computer. Radio Shack had one I bought for a mere 900.00. It could only be run in DOS since Windows was not available in 19 ?  I cannot even remember what year I bought the thing. I just remember that game was the coolest thing I had ever seen. I couldn’t do anything else with the machine cause I did not want to take the time to learn the dos machine language at that time. I still remember the funny squeaks of the dial-up modem and getting AOL discs to get the free internet. It was so slow until I got a high-speed line of 1.5 mbs of blazing speed. It only took 2 hours to download 200 mb of info if no one caused it to disconnect. Then you would have to start over. Ahhh the good old days!

    Nothing like investing HOURS to download something only to have it aborted by someone picking up the phone! Back in 2004-2006 I was still on dial-up and would download podcasts overnight when everyone else was in bed.
