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

Radio Shack TRS 80 was my OG.

Ha my days spent retyping hundreds of lines of code from a brick of a book that came with it to end up spitting out errors!

Those damn , and . Got confused a lot.

I had no tape backup or floppy drive so lost everything at power down.

Loads of fun tho !

I'm 40 and my first machine was a commodore sx64. I'm not old lol.

Your old in social media terms. Anyone over 35 is a literal dinosaur. I'm in the same boat.

Commodore 64 and Atari 2600 here.

Thank you for actually calling it DE9!

A DB9 would have been 9 pins in a shell the size of a DB25 port!

Proud ex owner of an amiga 500, and amiga 2000...

Blew up quite a few Denise chips, iirc, with parents cables.

The 2000 had 2.5 megabytes, the 500 only 1megabyte, and it was fucking wonderful.

I now have 64gb and I still wonder if it's enough

Um Young kid is actually USB-C now and it's a mobile device 😆

I am 50 (going on 29) and remember connections other than these in devices like the Commodore 64.

I remember my school getting our first PCs in the library around the time the Columbia went up the first time. We thought the future was then. Little did we know...
