I went to the henry ford museum like a year and a half ago, they had Pokémon red and blue on display and I felt that in my soul and bones.
My first computer ran CP/M and had 8 inch floppy drives.
I went to a museum in Georgia with a bunch of tech on display. It was pretty neat.
The oldest computer I’ve ever messed with personally is either an Apple IIe like the pic or a Pong console; depends on whether or not you consider the OG Pong to be a computer.
And boy was that Pong console old. My uncle only let it run for like 5 minutes because it would start to get hella hot and smell bad. 🤣
Cool but why did they include those 3D printed save icons?
Look closer. Those are 5.25" floppies, which never had the popularity as save icons that 3.5" floppies did.
To be fair, even though 5¼" floppies are arguably more deserving of the name, I feel like most people still think of the 3½" disks when they hear “floppy disk.”
They were floppy on the inside
Yeah, but 5¼" were floppy inside and out
(flashback of illiterate mundanes calling 3½" diskettes ‘hard disks’)
I’m not about to let a little thing like perfect factual accuracy get in the way of a dumb joke.
Fair.
I see that and think, “oh, crap, did I take my cholesterol pill this morning?”
And your fiber supplement
bruh… thanks for reminding me! 👊
Nope, not that one. A better one.
C-64 users represent! I had a friend whose parents could afford to buy an Apple for him. He was jealous of my Commodore. :D

Amiga had entered the room.
A lot of those came out for both systems, yes, but I played them on the C64 🤷🏻
It was in high school actually. I’m soooooo old
Man, I may have grown up with 64-bit PCs and Arduinos, but the ol’ Apple II is still surprisingly usable (though obviously don’t expect it to be able to run Crysis).
Somebody has to have ported Crysis to the NES, right? That uses the same MOS6502 CPU (but has some beefier graphics hardware)
