First ever PC owned

[UID=0]

Ohh man you really got to love the good ol' times, where a word like Peta Byte was a Sci-Fi tought.
I'm so sad becuase I never got my hands on one Amiga box, and the loading times of games and applications were like in Heaven.... There was noting much to load but still there was many functions.

I've played Pirates this week on C128 and hell I love that game.

AH yes, but I only got that Amiga, to be honest for one main music program, called Music X, which was a similar sort of thing to Cubase I suppose, and IT cost quite a lot at the time.
I can't remember exactly how much it was, but it must have been hundreds of dollars or more.

Apart from that, I had a main 3D graphics application, which I forget the name, but did have some games as well, although I can't recall which ones.

But I think that there was one called Mercenary, if that was for the Amiga,
quite a simple looking vector graphics, line based thing.

Llamatron, now was that for the Amiga or the PC?

Good days though.

Cubase on floppy, wow. Who here remembers the ZIP drive?

Yeah, and even on a floppy, quite a large application with many functions.

Heh, if you recall the Zip drive, by Iomega, maybe you also recall 'The Click of Death'...;)

I had that happen to me once, the drive just clicked and then died.
It was R.I.P not Z.I.P...;)

I called up Iomega though, and even though my Zip drive was over a year old, and had gone past the warranty date,
they still sent me a new one and didn't even ask me to send the broken one back at all!

I wonder if that would happen with certain hardware applications nowadays?

I doubt that somehow, but you never know.

Oh yeah, eventually, the replacement ZIP drive, also clicked and then died.

That's when I decided to get a CD writer....;)
