My right arm is still longer than my left from back in the day when I carried my "laptop" computer from place to place. (I think it was a Zenith. Was from back in the day when you could run Word Perfect off of one 3.5" floppy and save your files on the other. Didn't even NEED a harddrive!) ;)

Back then, I used to play more games on the computers. Wonderful mahjong version (Shanghai) on my ST. Played a poker game on the laptop that I liked because it didn't take long to figure out the computer's patterns for bluffing, etc. If I ever encountered a dealer like that, I'd be rich! ... I loved the "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" adventure game, but never made it all the way through it. The only one I "solved" was "Leisure Suit Larry in the Land of the Lounge Lizards." Considering all of the non-church-lady things I had to get Larry to do in order to win the game, I probably really shouldn't confess to the last part, so forget you read it. ;)

I must have been really high-tech, then...mine had one floppy drive that was both A: and B: with a software switch, and I installed a daughter board with 1.5Mbytes of memory chips that gave me a virtual hard drive.

Woo-Hoo, I was like Downtown Brown with that machine!
