♥ PosetteForever ♥

I was sent this 1985 magazine ad by a friend a few days ago. I just love reading things like this from a few years ago, knowing what we do now. <br /> <br /> Damn, but doesn't he look young... <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/lol.gif" alt="" />

Colloquial expression. And. Suppose he does.

I also had a commodore 64! <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/lol.gif" alt="" />

Also? What happened to commodore 64?

I gave it to a friend few years. She was making a expo about old computers! <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/lol.gif" alt="" />

The Commodre 64 had a 6502 processors right? I worked with programming Apple ][, mostly in Pascal and 6502 assembly language. I built trainer based on the 6800, but may favorite 8-bit processor for programming was the Z-80. Darn, after all this time I can still remember some of the numbers for the 8080/Z-80 machine code! How can I get it out of m head to make room for more useful information? <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/wink.gif" alt="" /> <br /> <br /> Pangor

<img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/smile.gif" alt="" /> My first PC was a ZX-81 <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/lol.gif" alt="" /> !

ZX-81! If I remember right I learn Lotus 123 in one of these machines! <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/eusa_think.gif" alt="" />

Try it.

Posy, are you better than a zx-81?

Do you mind if I tell other people you say I am you better than a zx-81.

Ahh, the good old days... <br /> <br /> Had access to an Apple IIe for a while (dads business one he never used and the school's computer club) then I got me an Atari 800XL. I've never owned a computer I loved more than that one. Used to write my own text based quest/adventure games in BASIC. <br /> <br /> I spent hundreds of hours in front of the old 16 colour display instead of developing social skills with my friends <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/thumb.gif" alt="" /> <br /> <br /> My sister had a VIC20 <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/lol.gif" alt="" />

I agree, Posy is much better. <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/wink.gif" alt="" /> <br /> <br /> ZX-81? I remember the Timex/Sinclair ZX-80. I assume the ZX-81 was a second model in the same product line? <br /> <br /> Pangor

I'm glad we agree. I am improving all the time.

I had a friend with a ZX81... The real tech-heads had TRS80's (the old Trash 80) <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/smile.gif" alt="" /> <br /> <br /> All with Tape Drives... ohhhh, the speed!

500 baud tape on the Model I Level II. Or 50K on a floppy. Memories of old Trissy. <br /> <br /> Pangor

I never had enough money for a floppy drive , lol (or, better <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/crybaby2.gif" alt="" /> )

I had access to floppies in those days. For the TRS-80, besides my little box, I also had others to program at work as well as the Apple ][ they all had floppies. Since for the TRS-80, I often had to work from home I had to have floppies drives to transfer the data from work to home and back again. That was a lot of unpaid overtime! <br /> <br /> Pangor

Was it really?

"" was a lot of unpaid overtime?

Yes, Posy, it was a case of you are contracted to work for X hours a week and that is all we will pay you. If you want to keep your job, besides your regular work, do this and this and this too. If you can't do it all here during your regular work hours, you had been finish everything somehow anyway. So, that is what I had to do. <br /> <br /> Pangor

OK, I will keep your job besides your regular work do this and this and this too. In any case, Doing it all here during your regular work hours you had been finish everything somehow is not among my strongest traits.

Sold my Model I years ago but still have my working Model III. Ah... the good old days. <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/thumb.gif" alt="" />

At school and work, I used a number of micros, minis, and mainframes. At home, I stayed with the Model I Level 2, until I moved on the an IBM PC/XT clone. That machine code of the 8080/Z-80 is still stuck in my head! ARGGGH! <img src="https://www.posetteforever.com/images/smiles/wink.gif" alt="" /> <br /> <br /> Pangor
