RE: Going Fourth from Ireland to the blockchain

Go Forth into the ocean called Steemit, Fourth!

First computer I had was a Vic20 with a cassette tape drive. And then a 64. And then a 128. The first 5inch floppy drive was huge and made horrid grinding noise when it ran. I had a Gorilla Banana printer that shook so badly when it printed that it would lauch itself off the computer desk. Ah...those were the days. I have a picture of that 64 set up somewhere that I am going to have to dig up and post.

I will give you a follow and a vote of welcome. Consider following coming on over to my little corner of Steemit say hi and check out my intro. Minnows have to "school" together or get lost in this great big creative ocean.

Hey that's cool, I didn't have much gear but there's a computer museum (basically just one obsessed guy!) in the local University here where I saw some of that stuff in action.

I will definitely do some blogs about my C64 experiences, I learned some ASM and machine code for it, learned about how the memory works, and that beautiful musical SID chip! I am just about old enough to have caught the end of the era from the UK, I count that as lucky.

Will definitely check out your school, looking for ways to get to know the place. Muchos gracias for your comment.
