Wow, you started with an old computer! My neighbors had a Commodore 64 that I used but my first was a Packard Bell 286.

I can remember taking the phone and dialing into sites with phone numbers, the first message board and chat rooms. crazy

Well the oldest computer that I evr used was a commodore 64, used to play games on it, when I went to my grandma. And I remember that games were divided onto multiple floppies etc.. and took long to load lol..

Nice link you come up with, Rob!

The first "machine" I had to play on was a SNES (v. PAL), when I was little. I bought it from my cousin, and had a lot of great time with it. I know, it isn't as old as a C64, but it still wakes memories.

I found a picture of it:

Lol, and thinking that nowadays everyone is looking for 'cool tower case'.. and at that time you had no choice... just a box that weighed like 10 tons with an ugly case.
