At least now I dont feel so old Started out on the C64's competition the old Atari 600XL. I still remember holding option to load a disc and it sounding like it was giving birth to a Honda
Never saw any Macs in school always C64 and the old Acorns with the trackball. Oh those were the days, playing Lode Runner, Joust, Bruce Lee, Space Dungeon, Spy Hunter. So many cool games.

funny thing was we had nothing but apple macs in our high schools until nearly when i left and then they finally got pcs with windows. i still cant believe people enjoyed the music i wrote for all those old games enough to save them and play them online and in music vids. crazy! lol _________________________________________________________ HQ Network:

I only used Macs once in my life and that was right before I got Married. My GF at the time was a year younger than me and she had one. But soon enough she was the right age and i no longer had a GF with a Mac but wife who had what I had Commit suicide smiley here<---

I don't think DJB was in TDU at that stage, i was trying to get him to join before we all disbanded and built/joined other groups like bodycount, chrome, the cure.. I miss the old days so much i've been coding a new demo/intro for the c64 with new music. trying to twist djb's arm to help write a new tune after so many years. he had tonnes more experience than me in the end, i had to work.. ahhah _________________________________________________________ HQ Network:

If you guys are still interested I have launched two (2) brand new c64 websites. Hopefully they bring back some good memories for you guys as well.
