That Macintosh 512K (Off-Topic)

by dogcow , Hiding from Bob, in the vent core., Thursday, August 13, 2015, 19:18 (3487 days ago) @ Kermit

My first computer was a Macintosh 512K. I remember how excited I was when I finally got a second floppy drive and no longer had to swap disks.

The Mac 512k was the first computer my family got. I remember popping in the "guided tour" disk and listening to the tape cassette that went along with it... https://youtu.be/1pwammW5syw?t=1m11s I loved "Mousing Around". geeze.

        Pencils are almost all round down here. We had to use pens. - ZackDark, 2015-08-14, 00:30
