At least no one is "punchcard old" (or are they)? 😃
Not punch card old, but i did learn Fortran 77 in a freshman engineering class in 1994. Fortran syntax was still based on 70 characters per line to fit punched cards. Next semester the department switched to C++. Interesting fact the electrical modeling software PSS/E-PSCAD still uses Fortran.
I used punchcards once at an engineering firm to reload an original NRC approved/verified program, that we modified and were forced to compare our modified output to an original values which had to be reloaded from “cards” for recertification. I think it was a government thing.
486dx with 4 megs of ram was enough to play DOOM. 😎
I was just thinking about this the other day.
I remember in grade school being taught how to type on computers with 5 1/4 floppies. The first computers I remember playing were on dos with green screens.
My first PC that was fully mine was one of the early versions of Compaq Presario in the mid 90s. I remember playing Warcraft, Fallout, and Diablo on that machine while checking the warez scene and using Napster.
Commodore 64 old
Your post is being well-received.
Added to the https://nostraco.in/hot feed
Look at you with all your new fangled shiny stuff ;-)
Dad - what on earth is this? 
"somebody 3d printed the Save icon!" 🤣
Is that a floppy disk? 🤯
It is indeed
But the older, 5 1/4 one.
Just imagine what the woke brigade will have had with floppy and hard disks
😂😂🤣 probably would have complained that it was inhumane to ask a person to spend more than a second to store/save something 🙏🏽 there would have been uproar
I actually miss my Postman Pat cassette tapes 🥹 had good times with those 😌
Fun fact: Boeing 747’s run on floppy disks
🤯😱 whaaaa is that safe? I mean it must be but they haven’t decided to use anything else? 👀 kinda cool but I know Richard Branson must have a rainy day stash somewhere to improve it 🤣😂
It’s safe, the 747’s are from the 80’s so they just use the storage that was available at the time
They stopped making them recently so it’s probably CDs in the new ones 🤣
That little piece of foil tape protects the data from being overwritten. 
This looks like a dark mode version of a printed receipt 🥹🤯🫣
Check those specs - fancy pants with 2 floppy disks
We did still have a punched card reader at my High School, but it was already collecting dust…

33 it was pure pain XP for me at the age of 16 zero knowledge about computers.
Good times.
I remember when games had both Windows and DOS modes. And you better guess the right IRQs during setup or things wouldn't work quite right.
I'm that old

win 3.1.1 was my jam....
This old 
Ram cartridge, cassette drive, right?
Yes. I remember typing the command line prompts and then counting with the cassette player until the game was loaded. I played mission impossible with it, which required playing the cassette for every level.

My TI-99 had the reboot key right next to the plus key. Early lessons in saving often...
To be honest, I remember little of mine. Pretty sure I had two games at most, so the only way to play something new was to type the code in myself from a book of my parents bought me. Finally we upgraded to the C64, which at least had a pretty good trade in pirated games.
No.

We had one of these between 40 of us at school & we did a course called CLAIT on it - computer literacy & info tech , brings a little nostalgia tear to my eye 🥲😊

I have a TRS-80 in storage. I need to fire it up and show my kid. The Model 100 is still nice to type on for text things, so I may start letting him play with that a bit. I have some of the comics, also, but no memory of how I got them.
I'm Commodore 64 and Timex Sinclair old.
I'm a little older than that, like first Apple Mac older
I was so excited when my parents bought our first XP machine in 2002!
