Nope, I'm this old.

My sense of humor and my appetite say no. My knees, back, and eyes say yes. (Not to mention my ID) 😭

I don’t know how old I am. My dad had most of this stuff in the comments section, so it’s familiarity makes it harder for me to tell time 😅

Yes! And remember thinking “THIS IS THE HEIGHT OF TECHNOLOGY” as you listened to the disk drive grind away. The good old days!

We had three Kaypros in the house.

I'm this old 😬

I still have the 800XL, but now with Ultimate 1Mb board and Side3 cartridge. But I am older still! Started with the Timex Sinclair ZX81

Nice! It's finally affordable haha www.ebay.com/itm/22632415...

[Laughs in PC XT]

Please, I'm this old

Look at you with your fancy DOS system! 😂

Older 😂🤣😂🤣

lol a lot older than that

I started with a TI 99/4A that didn't have an expansion unit. I had to use cassette tapes instead of floppy disks. The first time I had access to a floppy drive its speed blew my mind.

Lol. I'm this old.

Nahh, I'm this old.

Oh Merlin. We named a dog after as we got both at the same time

I'm this old. I did my whole phd word processing and number crunching on one of these.

Second. Played with that thing when I was 6.

Me too! Played Turtle Tracks on my brother’s Commodore 64!

My favorites were Burning Rubber, West Bank, and Conflicts.

Win NT baby!

🙌

Hmmm I’m basically older.

For me:

Absolutely.

older

My C64 had games on cassette tapes. The floppy drive install was an upgrade.

Stop calling me old 😂

Older. ☠️

NOW you're talking!

Unfortunately

Win3.1 old for me.

windows 95 babe '-'

My dad got his first desktop when he was 40 years old or so. I just remember seeing windows 95 for the first time and being enthralled.

That isnt old; I remember them inventing calculators. I started on an IBM mainframe in 1972 and built my first 6800 computer in 1979 that only used machine code - winks ;-)

Older 🤣😁

I'm this old. I upgraded mine from 1KB to 64KB, the memory device was bigger than the computer itself. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZX81

I'm this old

Wie alt ist man da? 🫣

Also ich war da 14. das war 1990.

I’m old enough to recognize this.

Lol...I'm older

Older. Dammit.

I graduated that year

I'm this old.

My old Kaypro II says I’m older than both of you whippersnappers. #getoffmylawn #dadgumkids #isitnaptimeyet

thats not old buddy!!!! i started with DOS and Basic no UI

LOL, way older.

Same! 🤣

I'm DOS years old.

C:/

I'm keypunch years old.

Actually, I predate the PC - I’m slide rule years old.

😉

Same here! Played Paper Boy on floppy disk

TRS-80 years here

I'm "writing Fortran on punch cards" years old.

And I was designing your offices.

The only computer training I’ve had was “Intro to Fortran” in about 1980. The punch cards were fun

Love me some XT AT edlin

So am I!!!!

🙋‍♀️

In my time floppy disk were actually floppy...

I rember Windows 95 old. How's that?

Lol. Apple 2E..

Still recall windows 3.0. :-).

Horace goes Skiing old!..

This old

Ah, beat me to it...

Gotta show off some of mine...

I am more this scene

A keyboard. How quaint.

Great machine.

Been on most of the above... Cut my teeth, creating software for dosage control on one of these...

I had this in high school

Older

Please! Stop showing my age! 😂

I recognize that hahahaha

I can neither confirm or deny 🤣

Older…

I’m this old

Although that was the first computer I used as a kid, this was the first one I owned as an adult.

I feel seen. Spent way too much time playing Zork, Sherwood Forest, and Taipan as a tween.

Same here first computer in 1984, it started to smoke 4 yrs later & got an IBM compatible my oldest was 8, yrs later he was breaking into Afghan internet system on deployment for the team

Whoa! Awesome. Ha.

I still have mine in storage!

Hold my cane

Way older.

I'm far far older. Old enough to know how to use a slide rule.

Of course, to me everything after "Some like it hot" is post-modern.

Older.

Sigh. Older. Show me a Vax

I worked for Prime Computer, we used to beat the Vaxes and Data Generals. We’re all history now…

Hey, I remember Prime. I think we had a 400? in our computer graphics lab at Rensselaer driving IMLAC vector graphic terminals and Lear Siegler ADM text terminals. And 8 inch floppies. This was around 1977-1978. Damn good setup for its time. Spent many hours pounding Fortran programs.

*a-hem*

That built-in sharpener was a game-changer.

Still mad at the rich kids who had the sharpener AND the Millennium Falcon action figure holder Some of us were just getting by with the 8 basic colors and our tears!

You were the goat if you had these. I'm still chasing that grade school high 🥲

All the nutrients a growing Marine needs for a balanced breakfast.

When I first got involved with computers I had to flip switches to input the program in hex and the answer was decoded from a led display. I wrote software using assembly language then punch cards in FORTRAN (IBM 1620) then BASIC & all the other languages on the personal computers. And now?????

You are a veteran. :) Basic Pascal was my first step into bits and zeros. Nevertheless remember some old folks punching that cards.

Why, yes. I’m even old enough to remember when my school received this. I believe I was in third grade.

I’m THIS old.

Me too

My mom had one. I learned how to type on it 😊

Mechanography.

me too!!

What the hell? My first IBM PC came with Windows 2.1. Now get off my lawn.

Gen Z here, love this thread

I'm this old. (atari 2600)

I'm this old:

Me too. The first computer I ever used was an IBM360 Mainframe.

Older - first job duplicating NCR entries into the IBM mainframe before we went live.

@hankgreen.bsky.social did you ever upload YouTube videos on this I’m genuinely curious and if you did how long did it take?

Ow my back

I’m IBM running on floppy disks old…

I’m this old…

In other words, DOS years older?

Exactly! 😆😆

Me too, an entire semester to make a smiley face and hello banner.

I see your Window 98 and raise a 8088 PC (a Schneider Euro PC, which was also my own first computer)

OMFG! I had one of those!😍

I remember my parents mandating I spend an hour a day working through its levels....

i played a lot. making funny things like typing words esel means donkey😂🦄🖖🏻

Aww I’m this old too! I remember this Little Professor so clearly! Also, the original Speak and Spell. Gawd how I loved that machine!

Haha--YEP! Calculators were such a big deal back in the day!

Oh yes I did 😂

My mother wrote the instruction manual for that thing.

wow. not like the chinese translation of it😂

Oh no you didn’t.

I had this calculator. I liked calculators and owls...especially owls that could count to three.

The issue is that it didn't actually work as a calculator.

That is true. It was basically the math Speak and Spell.

Until they made the Speak & Math.

my girlfriend is an 🦉 and i am a 🦄. knowledge is power. more power than money. with knowledge you can destroy money😂 3-2-1 zero

Fuck, this just triggered a memory that now I have to write an entire post about.

We had that one and the robot one.

Hah! Older …

Windows 95 👍🏼

On this very machine 😉

😍😍😍

😉

Sadly … yes. Started my computer life on MS DOS

Nothing will ever dislodge the special place the Commodore Vic20 has in my heart. Miss it. ....

No, I'm THIS old!

I am this old.

Looks like the first one I bought.

😉

I’m this old, got this when I was 19.

Yuppers!

Yes 😥

I remember games loaded on cassette tape using the Commodore Vic-20.

That was only like 5 years ago

I am Windows 3.1.1 old.

Right with you! I had a Sound Blaster II and Matrox Millennium on a 386 w/486 processor and 28.8 kbps modem. My friends on the BBS's were so jealous.

I got a surplus computer with Win3.1.1. about 30 years ago and was so happy to have actual graphics and sound. I also had Wolfenstein 3D and Doom. I thought I was sooooo l33t.

You young people make me smile :-)

That's actually not that old

Diskettes? Ha! I started out using 8 inch floppies😰

Ffs, I remember when DOS was new and exciting…

Oh, you young'uns and your GUI OS.

You need to show this to get in my ballpark. (Altair 8800)

Oooh!

I had a Cromemco Z2 that I later added 8” floppy drives.

Truthfully, I sort of ran out of steam on the 8800 I was just to antsy to stay indoors to play with it enough to learn how to do much of anything useful. Years later I picked up a Leading Edge(brand) with a color monitor and 20 meg HD. I changed to encoding on the HD make it 30. I was the cats ass!

I'd love to get my hands on one of the originals and not the new kits but, alas, the cost...😂

I fear I am even older than this, my friend.😬

Ha I’m this old

Yes I am 🤣

Older

Best of the bunch!!! 👍

I'm this old, a little older actually, but the VIC-20 was my first.

Much older; Vic24, Sinclair..?- so long ago, I’ve probably got the number wrong, it might have been 64.

I started with MS Dos then progressed to

I still remember how confusing Windows was when it first came out. I learned fast though. I had to. It had to use it in my job. It was strange moving from DOS to Windows.

bsky.app/profile/debo...

I started on windows 95 when I was 2 ♡

Ha ha, I'm way older than that. :(

Very nice. I'm this old, btw:

Me too! Dual floppies 👍🏻 👍🏻

Pshaw. I’m THIS old. Behold my first personal computer.

There it is! Mine, too.

Mine was a Commodore 64. Lol

At the time a Commodore 64 was all I could afford.

It was nuts. Then I got a computer were it was all DOS. I used windows 98 at work but really have had Macs the minute they came out. Even the bubble colored ones. Now I refurbish MacBooks. For me.

Now I prefer Linux & Chromebooks.

Linux is ok but I’m a Mac person. I do hate this new iPhone I got though. I liked my little SE2 and like a home button. I got a 15 and am ready to use it as a rock. I’ve only had a week and can’t get used to it. I guess I was just used to my old one.

The 8 bit Amiga! I had an Atari 400 with upgraded RAM and an 810 disk drive with Happy Ehancement and.

We started with the cassette tapes. We had 8K memory cartridge as well. Added a floppy drive and printer. Remember having to insert a BASIC cartridge? I wrote two programs. A biorhythm and a game where beavers swimming upstream had to avoid logs. It always broke when they hit a log, though.

I remember the Atari Spanish language learning course on tape. I learnt how to use wildcards from the Atari 810 disk manual and wanted the 830 serial interface and a modem for BBSs. I played a lot of games.

Mine too. I "graduated" to an IBM PCjr. I was also a PC-DOS(w/Stacker) and OS/2 fanboy. I know of Gary Kildall. I have a hat that says: "1998 - Year of the Linux Desktop," that I got from Comdex, where I shook Linus Torvald's hand. Linux User #91388.

I am THIS old.

Ah....the first laptop. My dad was an engineer and had one of those.

That's hilarious! MY step dad was an engineer, which is why we had that computer!

My dad also had a slide rule, LOL. Of course with the first major EMP or solar mass ejection, we'll all wish we had one.

This was my first portable. The thing weighed 20 pounds

Is that a K-Pro?

I lugged one of those on a trip to a client site ONCE. What a pain in the buttocks to lug through the airport and stow in the overhead!

I WANTED one of those so bad…

Mere children. I am this old.

Oh Jeebus! I'd forgotten about Big Iron, COBOL and punch cards. That was in the early 1980's. Yep. That old.

Yes, Sigh. I'm Commodore 64 old lol

I am DOS old

💚💚💚

a spectacle of graphics and sound! 🤣

DOS.

Yes DOS ruled. Batch files were the shiz.

Commodore 64, ODYSSEY 2 (yes, it was a video game system, but had a full keyboard and you could program), Apple 2c, And then DOS, Before Windows 95.

Me too. We are obviously actual fossils! I got a Commodore 64 in 1984 did my whole BSc and PhD wordprocessing and number crunching on it. Was still using it circa 1994.

Here's to Floppy Discs worthy of the name!

It was actually the increasing difficulty in getting the floppy disc player to keep working that forced me to finally abandon the computer.

The disc drive was arguably *THE* primary reason for the downfall of the system.

Ah, I cannot say I am surprised but I was never into the computer 'scene' at the time so hadnt heard that before. A pity really as the available programs were pretty good and the alternative cassette tape upload was awful.

It was mostly the read/write speed that was the hindrance. A built-in handicap to make it compatible with an older system. Oh, and kids...it wasn't really a 6" floppy. It was 5.25", but typically called 6inch by guys who want things to seem bigger than what they are. Especially next to the 8 INCH.

Actually the speed wasnt the biggest problem: more just keeping the drive actually running. There was this one guy who could fix it, up a rickety stair in a chaotic tiny workshop in an old building now demolished, in Glasgow city centre. When he said it cannot be fixed, that was the end.

Did he say "cannot" or "cannae"? 😉🤪

Hahaha!!

I'm this old…

Me too.

❤️❤️❤️

Aww yeah! My Junior High's computer lab had one of those, a MIME 2A, and bunch of TTY teletypes with 300 Baud modems! It's the 1980s all over again! :D But the first PC I ever owned myself was the IBM PC Jr. (with the Tunnels of Doom game cartridge)

You've got me beat. I'm only "VIC-20 in the school's computer lab" old. 🙁

PET at school… C64 at home!

Ditto.

This was literally last week. Why do people keep posting things like YOU MAY BE OLD BUT ARE YOU RTX 3090 OLD?

I miss Clippy. And those loud dial-up modem connecting sounds 😄

I remember when you could turn clippy into a cat I loved watching a cat lick it's paw as I was typing XD

I miss you too, first last.

OMG so funny 🤣

My first computer was a Ti-99 but I feel like I’m this old…

Same

Did it come in a cow-themed box? If so that was absolutely my first college computer.

That was my second computer as an adult. I’m really old.

I had been building and repairing systems for a year before I was able to get my own first system - in the cow themed box. I still have the cow themed disks 🙂

You kids with your fancy Windows... In my time we hooked our computers to TVs! 😂

My how times have changed...

Right there with you.

Woo Windows 98 was also my first computer 🤩✨ Loved making PowerPoint presentations on it, but it always had a bluescreen when I had more than 7 slides 😂

Ha! I love that! My PowerPoint Presentations always rocked. I had fun adding music to them too. 🎶

That newfangled stuff? I’m this old.

We shared one when I worked at Mattel and we were on call for overnight bug fixing on dial up. And that was 12 years after my first computer classes in high school where I learned RPG!

Hey look, it’s a portable computer! Hard to imagine them getting any smaller!

And the 256k floppy capacity on a 5 1/2 disk was peak storage.

Ok, I'm actually this old...

Nice one.

I'm this old.

Older.

Xerox 820 old

Yes :(

From my point of view Win98 isn't old at all...ok I'm old

Silicon Graphics old. Busy working on starring in Jurassic Park. Sorry I'll stop now :) Great discussion.

One of the oldest files I've carting around since 1991. FTP and Gopher. swascii.txt. Still in use :)

*been*

VAX/VMS old.

My old home!

I was at the University of Glamorgan, I think this is Durham. Basically the same. Printouts left in pigeon holes. Later on they let us near the Apollo (later bought by HP) workstations with monitors rather than terminals. First time I saw NCSA Mosaic (later Netscape). I'm sure you know all this :)

I was heading to college around that time, yep. 🕰️

I plead the fifth

Ah back when Microsoft wasn’t the scum of the earth (supposedly if ever) bsky.app/profile/edzi...

Older, window for workgroups and Novell old

Unfortunately 💙

I'm older than this…

My first computer. Amazing what they did with 3.5k of free memory.

I think the drive in my left off-brand earbud has more memory than that.

Oh, I’m older than that, my was made of wood.

An abacus, right?

🤣🤣🤣

This old…Macintosh Classic

Yes!

You are a Spring chicken:

I had that. Did yours have a math co processor in it which had a metal toggle switch on the back that after 2 minutes of running it would sear your finger when you tried to turn it off? Yeah, good times.

Can't remember. All my first computers were hand downs 3-5 years down the line from my father. Started on a terminal in 85 at the university. Had to "program" paragraphs, quotations, etc. Then walk across campus to retrieve printout from computer lab 🤣

Now, when I yell at my phone, kids sneer because "old lady doesn't understand computers". Well, manage your life in DOS, kiddo, and get back to me when you are done 😜

It's actually even worse. I'm the Elder Geek's grandfather. This was my first computer:

I had this one and the ugly af desk that fit everything with the walnut wood grain and SUPER sharp corners where the veneer came together.

I didn’t have that exact monitor as i remember it, but everythimg else was the same. I was thrilled when I got it: I suddenly had a whopping 64 kilobytes of Random Access Memory to play with. Can you imagine that? 😊

I was ~10. Dad thought it would inspire me to be a programmer, but he didn't get software, just a book & you typed all the code yourself and at 10 I couldn't get a single thing to run. It was maddening, but years later I wished he still had it. I did get to keep that horrible desk though. Woopee

I'm older than that...

Where's the card deck? Wow! Is that an actual color Television you have there? Is it showing a test pattern? How can a typewriter like that work? Where's the platen? Where's the paper? Where are the ink spools? . . . *311.8ppm 😉

Older, much older hahaha

MS DOS and I are waving our 5.25” floppy disks at you, child!

Yes!!! Me, too! And we were sooo high tech!! 😉🤣

I worked at the first Intel in Santa Clara in 1979-80. Next to my work area was the computer room. It was GIGANTIC with row after row of computers the size of refridgerators. The room had glass walls and when you walked by you could hear the computers buzzing.

I'm booting up Leisure suit Larry in DOS just to play the 18 or older quiz old.

Awe geeze, I forgot about Larry.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Started out using DOS

Did you install games on DOS? Fun times. Took ages just to get audio and video drivers working, but once you did, there was the first Resident Evil!

🤣 we didn't have access to much back then but I did get my hands on Doom...exciting times

I presume you've had to do much the same when you get your hands on old tech? I was just regular American poor, but not having access to things makes you resourceful. You do not want to piss off the poor. 😉

100% ....

I still have Doom! And 7th Guest and Duke Nukem 3D.. I got a CD drive at a computer show with that video card! I was maybe 22. Very weird behavior for a girl back then. I just hacked a Wii U and two 3DS's. Still at it at 51!

Nostalgic indeed 🥰

I had Doom, Wolfenstein, and a game called Commander Keen. Also Microsoft Paint, which hasn't changed a lick in 35 years.

Museum materials 👍

Fck I sure do miss that 3D 'puter-shooter fun, blowing Nazis away, especially in the g-mode. I wonder if there's an emulator around that can run it nowadays.

The good o'l days...

Audio and video drivers? It is very dark. You are likely to be eaten by a grue.

I honestly don't remember what drivers. At first I didn't have any...

DOS before windows

Older

Why yes I am this old! 😆

Ohh.. just a little bit older.

way older than this, my first computer was a Sinclair ZX1

I am before Windows old.

DOS 1.0 and before that, mainframes.

Old enough to remember when this was the hot new thing. I remember the transition from DOS to Windows a few generations earlier.

That old and some more here!

Same here! 😉

No need to rub it in.

Listen here, youngster. When I first opened my office, my computer ran on Windows 3.11.

Yep!

I... I may have had this exact computer... Would've been one of my early machines, probably a hand-me-down from my dad's business.

This old en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timex_S...

That's what I started with

At my last job interview the two interviewers were amazed that my first computer was Windows 311 for workgroups. After the technical stuff, they were like tell us more about Win95! 🤣🤣 I got the job as a Data Product Manager. Company was Disney, and I and still there!

Older.

More like this old.

I'm old enough to remember booting up DOS with two floppy disks.

Same! These children be talking smack on the Internet us elders created.

Oh I remember this.

I can’t hear you over the sound of my dot-matrix printer printing a birthday banner from my AT&T IBM compatible computer with PrintShop on 5” floppy disks.

Ohh the memories.

I remember coloring those banners with Crayola markers. 😆

I LOVED folding & tearing off the edges of the paper.

I loved Window 95! 😍 and remember the excitement when 98 came along. In the announcements it was called Windows 97!

Old enough to have had a Spectrum and Atari 2600. 👀

I had to use a card reader once in a college computer science class. Yes, I’m that computer old.

My first computers were an IBM 360 (FORTRAN on punch cards) and a DECSYSTEM 20.

I remember Fortran and COBOL (hated that language)! I’m more of systems analyst than a coder. Coding was never my jam.

Same here! I loved being a system analyst far more than coding. I enjoyed facilitating JAD sessions and working with users from conception to delivery of new capabilities!

Yes! I love getting to know what people truly need and brokering understanding between stakeholders.

My career ran from punch cards to diagnosing AI hallucinations. It was a pretty wild ride.

That is awesome. Wish I would’ve been more engaged in AI towards the end of my career. My career ran from punchcards to leadership at global software company with complex business systems. I appreciate the caliber and dedication of the amazing people I worked with and our collaborative environment.

I left the computer field years ago but my new field has a lot similarities. Problem solving is problem solving.

Absolutely and it was definitely a great place to start a career and learn so many skills with broad applicability. When we would either visit local colleges or have students visit our campus, I would always emphasize finding their niche across a wide range of roles and businesses.

Same 👵🏻

Once?? Ha.

Yes, the card readers!

Acorn Atom old but changed quickly to a BBC microcomputer. Elite 1984 for ref.

I learned how to program in COBOL. I am THAT old.

Me too

COBOL, BASIC, FORTRAN. 😬

Yes.n

Oh, and C!!

And FORTRAN on a KSR 33.

Me too, LOL! I remember using an NCR DM-V desktop computer and we all thought it was like magic!! So funny how quickly technology has evolved.

I’m old enough to have messed around with Liza on a pdp-11

ha, actually I'm even older..

Ah, this brings me back, to days of yore, when I still believed in magic and the world was full of promise😊

Colour? Blooming luxury

tape-drive! OMG my uncle's computer was that way..noisy af too.

I remember...

Windows95 was better!

Yeah… #Commodore64 ftw www.shutterstock.com/image-photo/...

It's true this wins, I approve

How could I forgotten that monstrosity?

Hey now! Zork was on that monstrosity! xD

I remember games like PacMan, Boulder Dash, Tetris, and I think Space Invaders. I also remember programming my homework in BASIC lol. And then my Dad bought a x286 PC (I think) with a cassette reader and that was the height of luxury.

Same! I remember that being cutting edge. Ha!

My Dad was a geek before me (still is)

So many hours, lost forever

She still works

Holy memories!

This looks so familiar… even after 40 years

I was 8 when this came out. My Dad probably got one as soon as it was available. I remember the awe I felt when he brought it home. I was instantly hooked. Then I taught my Dad how to play Tetris.

Back in those days I brought home a Commodore 64 & after some 48 hours my 10-year old son was teaching me how to use it.

And after a few days he & his pals were playing Intergalactic llama & all those other games better than me.

THIS is what I'm talking about!

Mere youth. First computer I used you had to enter the initial boot program through front panel switches...

My first computer had windows 3.1. LoL

What's this Windows 98 business? Where's the DOS prompt?
