5.25 floppies, dial up, sopwith and yahtzee on the amstrad, telephones with a proper round dial and a 4 digit phone number, those were the days!

Naah, that's not old. Old is when you remember computer memory being a bunch of little ferrite rings, and your Teletype (http://www.computermuseumgroningen.n.../teletype.html) going chugga-chugga-chugga all day long.

I doubt there's many folks who remember booting a computer by entering the start address of the ROM with a set of switches on the front panel either.

Keith (definitely feeling old!)

Got me there Keith_d, I was gonna mention my BBC Model B with a whopping 64K of RAM and a 5.25" disk drive but...I'm feeling quite young again

I did learn Cobol in my first job and had the "old timers" telling me about loading programs via punch cards once...

17yrs old...I wish! Jamesy D, be grateful you have all your youth ahead of you...I'm 35 now and pretty much double your age, trust me comparing yourself to a 16yr old may seem like worlds apart but wait until you're my age and you see young whipper snappers like you are now!

And when I was a bit older than 3!:
