Brother sold Dad on the idea we could do all the book-keeping with this program called, "Visicalc".

First multi-player game, it actually was a pretty good strategy game & only needed 48k or RAM!!!

We had a PONG game, 4 games in one... hooked up to a TV, channel 3 or 4.

"Our" first business machine, we got it for the Darkroom we ran, 6 months later, I started our BBS on it, then learned programming (the hard way).



I still LOVE that machine - We had a bunch of them, networked.

LOVE it!

My beloved doggie was born 10/10/00.  I was half tempted to name her "Binary".  Ended up giving her a name that fit her personality better,
"Darlin"

I still have a couple of them and some ST's and lots of software and some cartridges.

Atari ST's legally licensed GEM and sued Apple and won...MS also legally licensed GEM. but history was rewritten by APPLE.  SO I cannot use APPLE. They were evil.

Warner Bros will forever be in Infamy for screwing it up.

With all these lawyers with cameras on the street i'm shocked we have so much crime in the world.

There is constitutional law and there is law and order. This challenge to law and order is always the start to loosing our constitutional rights.

Frauditors are a waste of life.

I mentally invented the laptop, so when the Epson PX-8 came out I bought one.  Still have it in perfect condition and need to sell it..  CPM operating system.  Great for personal programming.
Great machine but stupid purchase at the time.

Another one I loved... just got to be too slow.  I used it at work, back in the '90s, 3-4 years, it was *so* handy to whip that thing out of my pocket, log into communications gear, record data into a spreadsheet, or word document..   The problems started when I couldn't import data BACK to the palm computer (thank you Microsoft - totally screwed us with non-backward support!).  Running Windows CE, not real fast, but it worked like a swiss army knife.



Gave it to of the kids, he took notes on it for classes at the community college.
