I remember 5.25" floppies in grade school. And the teacher's stern admonition of "Do NOT write on the floppies with a ballpoint pen!" Yep - on the Apple II computers we had. What about the TI cassette tape back-ups or Data Storage Cassettes?? TI-99 Thanks Deej - brought back some memories for me... |

I once had a job where, after I loaded up all the data, would pick up a standard Land Line telephone, turn on a Modem, had WATSON* dial a number, and listen for the roar, put down the handset and wait until all the data was sent to the customer. This would take several minutes. When I saw the data was sent I could then turn off the Modem and go on with the rest of my nights work. Nowadays everything would be sent in a few seconds. *Go look it up.

I've also got a Timex-Sinclar 1000. It has 2k of onboard memory, upgradable to 16k with a plug in module. Used a standard B&W TV for a monitor and a normal tape deck to save your programs. |
