We take so many things for granted today thanks to technology. That's not a bad thing, but I like showing people how things were done before Microsoft Windows, tablets and smartphones came around. To load a program on these things, you simply click a program with either a mouse or finger to start an app installed on the device. That wasn't the case in the early 1980s. Programs were stored outside of the computer on floppy disks. The graphical user interface wasn't popular yet, so keyboard commands were the most common way to start a program.
In this video, I show the difference in how to load a program on the Coleco ADAM computer (1983) and the Commodore 64 (1982). I made sure to use 5.25 inch disk drives for both systems. Apologies for the lighting.
