    steve00 got a reaction from Matt in QOTW: Name the one thing you cannot live without   
    You look around you (walking, on bus, plane, train ... in fact anywhere) and tell me what they cannot live without and it will be their phone whether it is for music, gaming, talking to friends etc .... they could not live without it for a week ... they would be pulling their hair out.
    No matter where you look ... someone is using their phone
    Would really love mobile operators to close their transmitters for a few days all at same time and see how they get on

    Wow, that brings back good memories.
    Mine was a ZX81 (1K RAM) ... can you imagine that 1K, yet it worked fine, was a friends that he showed me when I visited him.
    I was so impressed that I ordered a ZX Spectrum 48 (this was 48K memory) a few weeks later then had to purchase a cassette recorder to connect to it to load the games, I remember getting that on credit and was so pleased when I got it, eventually started to try and write my own games (in Basic as it was called then)
    I used to play games on that but got fed up losing all my lives (usually 3 or 5) and having to start game again so started to learn to 'hack' into the game and changing the code to get endless lives.
    Then progressed to Spectrum 128+ (128K ... ok you already guessed that I suppose) with disc drive and managed to convert all my games (which were on cassette tape) to the discs and carried playing games and still practise Basic code and then the Z80 code which was fairly simple at the time for me. Bought books and magazines to help me. I still have some of the old discs lying around (some still with the games on and some unused as well) but sadly no Spectrum
    Had that one for years and still had it when got married and got the wife playing some games as well, some nights up until 4am (no idea where the time went as ... 'just one more game then go to bed' and before we knew it we found it was 4am)
    Good times had with those, but ask me about the code of nowadays ... forget it .... wouldn't even know where to even start.

    Mine was a commodore 64 that i got in '86 for my bday (i'm still angry DAD, i had asked for a NES! got that for xmas tho lol) but i'm glad he did, i learned a lot about computers from it (oddly enough not a whole lot about programming lol). I had scratched my initials into the back of it, with an infinity symbol (cause i was obsessed with the concept of infinity when i was a kid). sold it at a garage sale in 92 when my dad had gotten me a second hand macintosh. then years later, around 2012 i was at a salvation army thrift store with my sister, looking around. saw a shelf filled with old computer parts, and found a few commodore 64's and when i flipped the one over i found my initials and the infinity symbol. it made me smile that it was still out there. I didn't buy it, it needed another master .
