JDMurray Admin Posts: 13,099 AdminThe first computer I owned was a circa 1980 Zenith HZ-89A with 64K RAM and running CP/M-80. It was like owning an old VW Bug that you constantly tinkered with.

tedjames Member Posts: 1,182 ■■■■■■■■□□I used a paper hole punch to clip the other side of a 5-1/4 floppy so I could write to the other side of it, making it double-sided. I could store more games on a single floppy that way.

MontagueVandervort Member Posts: 399 ■■■■■□□□□□Great to see this thread blew up!
I truly attribute my success to the C64. Got it for a xmas present as a kid. My parents had no idea what they were buying me, but it was "electronic", so they knew I would like it. 🤣
It's what really sparked my interest in comps., sitting there for hours upon hours with that book haha trying to make it do what I wanted and then seeing the results were awesome.
