Am I the only Zoomer? I see a lot of “I remember”-type responses, so I have to wonder.

    Learned some language (I don’t know if it was Basic or other) on an Apple II at school in fifth grade. Asked for a family computer for xmas and was disappointed that we got a Mac IIsi because I couldn’t program it. 80MB HD. Everymac.com says 2 or 5MB of RAM.

    SCSI! Back when data cables were huge and included terminators and channels or whatever. Stop making things so damn convenient and let us work our asses off to plug things in. /s

    • Shit, I went through the same thing with learning Basic on an Apple II and never being able to acquire(rarely even encountered) one of the right models to use what I had learned after I left that school. Lusted after the IIc for a hot minute, let me tell ya.
