"Coaxial mouse old" isn't a thing, gramps. I hate to tell you, but the senility's kicking in...

[–] Jerb322@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago (2 children)

It was to hook up cable TV to a TV that only had UHF/VHF.

8088 represent. 640kb should be enough for everyone.

“Press play on tape”

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

DIN-5 was a dope connector. No bent pins, stuck in there sturdy, you could rotate it until you got it with no guessing, no wimpy cable breaking off.

[–] hips_and_nips@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Still is! I rock many DIN-5 cables in my home studio for MIDI. You’re not joking when you say “you could rotate it until you got it with no guessing”, I have to do that every damn time.

Bottom picture isn't even that old

RS-232 was what PCs used and its from 1960.

I had to put my HDD in park position manually.

I don’t think I’m on the chart. First computer was a RadioShack TRS-80. 4 kb of RAM, but I upgraded to a blazing 8 kb. Yee-haw! No floppy discs: my programs were saved on cassette tape using a cassette recorder connected to the computer. Those were the days.

[–] guyrocket@kbin.social 4 points 1 year ago

You had a TRASH-80?!? Amazing. I only got to play star trek on one at school.

My first system was an Altair 8800.

For input it used physical switches on the front panel.

And until I got expansions for it, it didn't even have any ports on the back.

Trust me people who use multiple monitors LOVE the VGA cable because it's +1 monitor on what usually would be only 1 HDMI slot, maybe 2 if you were lucky.

[–] NateSwift@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That’s serial not VGA right?

Vic20 -> C64 -> Atari 2600 -> Amiga 500 -> 286 ... I actually don't even remember but it has a shitton of cores.

Older. The C64 was my second computer. Or the third, if I count in the one I built myself, too.

[–] MajorHavoc@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

We're highlanders, apparently. I guess we make the zombies look young.
