Ok, but do you remember installing 64K and 256K chips for memory expansion?
Hehehe...Wrote my first program on an Atari 2600 with a 32K memory upgrade
cartridge and had built my first computer in Jr. Highschool - Timex Sinclair
1000.

Man, I can't forget those 5.25" disks... Had a summer job at the high
school I attended working for the computer department and had to format
about 10,000 disks as one of my tasks. They put the WRONG guy on that
job! Took me about 3 weeks, and went through 3 floppy drives... Apple
IIe drives that ran about $200 a pop at the time (early 90's) For what
they paid for the drives, and me at $4.25 an hour, they could have
bought new blank disks. But hey, I wasn't complaining... got to see the
Rollins Band that summer! :)
