Old Skool
Ahh, the (not so) good old days. Anytime I get nostalgic about my early days of computer geekdom, all I have to do is run an emulator and realize that things weren't all that great back then. Heck, I wish I could have back all of the time I've spent waiting for slow disk drives, modems, dot matrix printers, etc. I always have a good chuckle looking back at some of the games I used to play too. I can't believe I actually wasted so much time on some of that stuff. Of course, I loved it and it set the stage for my ability to earn a livlihood today as a computer tech, so it wasn't all bad. I was an Atari man from the start, with my 800XL and later my 520ST. Due to a lack of funds, I only dreamed of owning an Apple in those days. I heard about those fancy machines like the Apple IIGS and pecked away at their keyboards wistfully whenever I happened to be in an American appliance store. If you felt the same way, now you can see what you were missing.
