WHO WHO WHO

Commodore, it will get you laid.

Looks like the people who made that ad actually thought a nubile young woman would come up and go “Oh sir, what a big piece of hardware you’ve got there!”

JESUS CHRIST I THINK I HAD ONE OF THESE THINGS

well, it was my ex-husband’s. or really originally his dad’s. but he took it to college with him. it might have been a later IBM thing in a similar case but 5.25” floppy drive? tiny screen? OH YES.

And can you believe we used to access the internet on that shit? NO REALLY WE DID. 1200-baud modem and we could get to all of Usenet.

…none of you remember Usenet, do you?

never mind, i’m just gonna walk on the beach and listen to the mermaids…

Girl I was all up in the usenet. I was mentioned in more than one newsgroup FAQ. I had an anon.penet.fi account. It was on.

That’s right, you’re one of the five people on tumblr who’s somewhere around my age. I keep getting followed by and following all these people who are amazing and funny and clever and they’re not even old enough to drink yet and I start wanting to shake my cane a little, you know?

I completely support shaking one’s cane at the young whippersnappers.

One of my teachers in 1988 was super into computers and he had one Commodore 64 and two others that ran on tape. Cassette tape. He was my favourite :D (I was seven)
