Radio Shack TRS 80 was my OG.
Ha my days spent retyping hundreds of lines of code from a brick of a book that came with it to end up spitting out errors!
Those damn , and . Got confused a lot.
I had no tape backup or floppy drive so lost everything at power down.
Loads of fun tho !
glances at MX518 on Max Payne mousepad
Fuck.
what if we go back to a time before there were ports for keyboards. a la atari 800

I’m 8-track tape in my first car old.
Damn you kids and your newfangled RS232 connectors.
DIN and RS232 gang!
We’re not dead yet.
I'm 40 and my first machine was a commodore sx64. I'm not old lol.
Your old in social media terms. Anyone over 35 is a literal dinosaur. I'm in the same boat.
Um Young kid is actually USB-C now and it's a mobile device 😆
I am 50 (going on 29) and remember connections other than these in devices like the Commodore 64.
That 5 pin DIN was on the older C64s for the AV port. I had a newer one as well and they switched to an 8 pin variant. C64s also used similar DIN connectors for the power supply and disk drive.
I'm off the bottom of the chart.
I remember my school getting our first PCs in the library around the time the Columbia went up the first time. We thought the future was then. Little did we know...
