RE: My computing ages

in #technology • 8 years ago

Memories, memories... I remember loading programs off a cassette drive - that was a bit of a drag 😊

I bought my first 'proper' PC c 1990.

I'd started doing some freelance work and won a pitch to build a database system for a national charity. I didn't think I would get the job but when I did I had to rush out and buy a PC (couldn't really do it at work 😉).

It was a G-Com and cost £3300 if I recall correctly. I remember you had to 'park' the hard drive before moving in those days...

Is scary how much they used to cost. My Beeb probably cost the equivalent of a couple of thousand now
