Old but not obsolete

Hi all...

Just joined and had help already so thanks for the friendly start

Been using PCs for a while now. Started with a ZX81 (my word that was a long time ago!) and then constantly hogged my brothers 48k and then 128k spectrum before buying myself a commodore amiga 500 and then 1200.

Moved onto a 386 and then a 486 before getting a P133, followed by a P3 733 and then a P4 2ghz.

Now on a quad core 2.33 ghz and just started to venture into overclocking (You couldn't do that with a ZX81

)

Read some great posts and learned a lot already so glad I found the overclockers forum...

Welcome aboard.

I don’t think we have anyone who started with Colossus, enjoy your stay.

I went to see the Colossus in Milton Keynes. Really impressive stuff!

Thanks for the welcome

Colossus! I assume you mean the ZX81...

Ahhh, those were the days. Basic, 1 kB of memory and a pc you could post through the letterbox. Had so much fun driving a pixal car around and typing

10) goto 20
20) goto 10

.....error!

Damn! I had forgotten the joys of the early 80s...

And no sloppy programming allowed... heh
