This was the computer, my first computer, that forever changed my life and set me on the path I'm on today. I think I was in 7th grade in this photo. After the VIC-20 followed the C=64, then my favorite, the C=128. When I went into the Navy I had to sell off my computers, but after my training I got an Amiga 500. However, I still have fond memories of those early days of sitting down with a Commodore magazine and typing in a program for hours to play a game or do something cool. There was something magical about those days, so I was thrilled when I found this old photo of those great days!

Awesome! I got a Vic20 around that time too.
I had memorized so many peeks and pokes, I
felt like a...well, ok, it was just saying
the truth: I'm a geek. :)Now, I just emulate.

Thanks for sharing such awesome memories! I
too started on a Vic-20 and remember typing
in programs from Compute! magazine and the
forever "Press Play On Tape"
message. Next came the 64, 1541 disk drive
with it's rattle, and 1084 monitor. Last was
the Amiga 1000 with it's designer signatures
on the inside cover and killer graphics and
stereo sound. Ahhh... those were the days.

I was compelled to start the Your Geekiest Photos group. Perhaps you could compound your
embarrassment/pride by joining?

No one mentioned the chemistry set to the
left! You can't get those any more, they're
deemed "unsafe".

It's amazing we survived all the
"unsafe" stuff back then :-)
