Oh yea. Loved the BBS scene.
I was fortunate. My mom was a computer programmer, so I had all the gear, from the old TI, to the Vic-20, then I became a big baller when I got a Commodore 64. Shit I even had an Amiga.
Other memories from the day:
- I almost cried when I went from a 300 baud modem to a 2400 baud modem. Friends would come over and say, "daaaaamn, that shit is fast!!!!!!"
- I wrote a programming book in elementary school (back in the early 80s) and I won some contest so they published it and put it in the elementary school library. I think one of the programs went like this:
10 Print "Hello, how are you"
20 Input A$
30 If A$ = "great" go to 50
40 If A$ = "bad" go to 70
50 Print "I'm glad you are doing great!"
60 Goto 10
70 Print "I'm sorry you are feeling bad"
80 Goto 10
When I wrote this, I told my little elementary school friends that had invented "artificial intelligence." I was on top of the world!
It all went down hill from there lol....
