You wanna go oldschool? :p
My first computer;
| quote: | - a faster CPU, Zilog Z80A running at 4Mhz,
- a real time clock which can be used by programs,
- a better built-in monitor resulting in a very sharp display. The character matrix has also evolved from 5 x 7 on the Kaypro II and IV '83 to 8 x 16 pixels on the Kaypro 4 '84,
- the system has now rudimentary graphics through graphical characters resulting in a virtual 160 x 100 resolution,
- characters can be displayed using two brightness levels and reverse attribute,
- the new prompt is a blinking square,
- like on modern keyboards, J and F keys are slightly different in shape from the other keys, so it's possible to spot them while staring at the screen,
- there is a built-in modem (300 baud),
- the system now has two DS/DD half-height floppy drives (390 kb) |
eat it!
i remember playing some game where "0"'s rolled down the screen and u had to jump ure box over them. |

You still got that... you could sell it for a fair bit I reckon. A collectors item.
But don't try and compare old-skool-ness to what we had... it wasn't commercially available (dad used to work developing the first computers) it used the first 'transistors' and was running off ferrite core memory

yep been waiting for this and hl2 for some time now! however i need to get a new vid card before i'll be able to play it :|
now the hard choice.. x800xt or 6800ultra :conf: |
|

Us mac users dont have a choice of cards atr the moment really
my new dual G5 normally come sstock with a Radeon 9600 XT, or you can option it up with a 9800 XT 256MB or a GeForce 6800 Ultra DDL
I thinK I will go the 6800, coz it is the only card available that is from teh newest gen of cards. I just have a feeling that I will get this, then the X800 will arrive for mac and out perform it!! |
