8k then 16k, can't remember the chip, oldest I can remember is Z80 and the 8086/8088... Not sure when they arrived and cant remember what the first pc was built from but it was a kit and I stuffed a lot of solder joints before it would work...

I do remember a computer being sold complete, I think Dick Smith sold the first pre-built, but I cant be sure... System 80 came along not long after I started and that I remember as a friend bought one(he had too much money)

I got a vic 20 for a toy, just after they came out...

Been a long time since I last played Lemmings.

I used to play it on NW-DOS.
Back in the good ol' days of computers.

Good ol' days????? MS-DOS and x86 beige boxes? Compared to my 27" iMac running High Sierra? Nope, nothing good about the old days. I'm with Tombie, sometimes the past is best left there.

Next we will be discussing pounds and pennies!!! and how the older generation kept giving 5 bob instead of 50 cents... I always got a couple of shillings...

So, you would rather walk around, tapping on your smart phone, downloading the latest app whilst walking into lamp posts.

Yep. You know me, Mick. Of course I would. I'd also rather lie under my D1 getting dirt in my eyes than use DOS again. And I could almost speak DOS back in the day.

Floppy disks, tape drives, CRTs and dial up modems, anyone?

Another good one- Rise of the Triads. Not DOS though. Another Apogee classic.

BTW, I actually have an app called Boxer on my Mac, precisely to emulate DOS. Not sure why. If I want to give myself command line headaches, all I have to do is open a Terminal window and dive into the wonderful world of UNIX.
