"Coaxial mouse old" isn't a thing, gramps. I hate to tell you, but the senility's kicking in...

It was to hook up cable TV to a TV that only had UHF/VHF.

8088 represent. 640kb should be enough for everyone.

DIN-5 was a dope connector. No bent pins, stuck in there sturdy, you could rotate it until you got it with no guessing, no wimpy cable breaking off.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Still is! I rock many DIN-5 cables in my home studio for MIDI. You’re not joking when you say “you could rotate it until you got it with no guessing”, I have to do that every damn time.

I had to put my HDD in park position manually.

I don’t think I’m on the chart. First computer was a RadioShack TRS-80. 4 kb of RAM, but I upgraded to a blazing 8 kb. Yee-haw! No floppy discs: my programs were saved on cassette tape using a cassette recorder connected to the computer. Those were the days.

Member when you edited your ~~himem.sys~~ config.sys and autoexec.bat to play your game?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (5 children)

Remember when you had to navigate through DOS to start your game?

I'm a musician and I send Midi all over the place pretty regularly. 5 pin DIN connectors are very much still a thing.

This meme is already outdated, we have USB c now.

Older. The C64 was my second computer. Or the third, if I count in the one I built myself, too.

White and red live on in the audio world, but yellow is definitely in retirement now.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

My first system was an Altair 8800.

For input it used physical switches on the front panel.

And until I got expansions for it, it didn't even have any ports on the back.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

... Parallel port ...

My age exceeds that of the universe!

Trust me people who use multiple monitors LOVE the VGA cable because it's +1 monitor on what usually would be only 1 HDMI slot, maybe 2 if you were lucky.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago (6 children)

That’s serial not VGA right?

this meme and the fashion world at large agree that I am a decrepit hag at 30 years old

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (6 children)

Vic20 -> C64 -> Atari 2600 -> Amiga 500 -> 286 ... I actually don't even remember but it has a shitton of cores.
