Old comeputers

Its nice to read the old stories and share your memories.
A few years ago someone pays $3000 for a computer ? and today you can buy three for the same price.
I played on a few computers and one my dad bought from tandy, he had to keep upgradeing the monitors and buying differnt g cards to run them and being pissed at spending so much money.
I had the commodor vic 20 and the sinclair spectrem and thinking these are cool.
I had amiga computers and atari 520 ste computers and playing loads of games.
Thats why when the amiga shut down i bought a pc :-).
I remember playing on my amiga and thinking pc users where all nerds and geeks and i would never cross over to the dark side ? lol.
I also thought games on the pc where slow and rubbish like jump man and not inuf memory when you tried to load the frre games off pc format mag.
I had no choice but to buy a pc after the amiga went stale, but thought ? hay i can do this lol.

The thing is, the pc scared the hell out of me and i thought i will naff something up and then the wife will go mad for spending so much money lol.
Sometimes i still get scared but not as much as before, and can fix most problems really quickly.
But the pc is my life and my love and less demanding than a woman, a pc wont ask for things, and i dont mind buying things for her.
All fond memories and im happy you have shared them.
I bet when you get out the old computers, i bet you think ? how the hell do i work this again ? lol.
Ps im happy to be nerdy and geeky becouse its cool and means i meet real good friends like you guys on here.
My wife hates me talking about hard drives and ram, and would rather my pc turned into something for her.
