Apple IIc was my first computer!

I bought it second hand with almost all the money I had saved working that summer. It taught me programming Pascal, Assemble and ADA (yes, I received a copy of ADA compiler from my friend in US).

Was shocked to see how much they sell them for on ebay! from $700 to $1800, my setup was like the one in the image with external drive and 2 joysticks!

I was addicted to the pinball game back then!

Kids these days have no idea how something like this was valued back in my days!

My first PC had 1MB of ram that I later upgraded to 4MB using memory ICs I bought in US when I was visiting.

I was the king of the class with 20MB hard drive and a 2MB ram drive.

Modules like this where used in my second computer, a 386 clone on a self imported motherboard from Hong Kong.

Good old days. Now I have 64GB of ram and half a terrabytes of SSD and it's not as fun as it was back then.
