> http://goo.gl/zLE4C Ahh yes, the good old days. I remember only too well of the need of having to store programs on cassette tapes. I don't recall off hand who first offered a floppy, but my Atari 800 had one. 5.25" style. Did you know the floppy disk was invented well before the first "home" computers? In 1950 by a Japanese inventor. My first machine was an Atari 400 and it came installed with MS-DOS and you had to buy "BASIC" seperately, as I recall. After I found the power and capabilities of the Amiga, I tried talking my father into buying one. But no, he wouldn't bite. Instead, for a birthday present, he shows up with a machine that has some new fangled thing in it called windows 3.1. While he was satisfied with his Commodore 64. |

My first experience with a computer was Dos 6, and shortly there after came Win 95 I thought I was in heaven. :) -- 11/12/2010 1:52:53 PM CST Just West Of Nowhere Enjoy Life And Live It To Its Fullest Support Bacteria: It Is The Only Culture Some People Have |

I think that's the old arcade game. It's a triangle on the screen that you move around and shoot boulders and try to avoid getting hit with the pieces.
