It's funny guys.
My first "computer game" experience;
My dad brought a state of the art HP calculator home from work. This thing could read (and write) programs on small, like 10mmx40mm mag strips. you would feed the strip into a slot in one side and little rubberized feed wheels would spin up and spit it through and out the other side.
One of the program strips included when the unit was delivered was a "moon lander" game. It was turn based. It would briefly display your speed, range to the surface, and remaining fuel, then you would be prompted for a fuel burn input.
Yes, I did land it that night.
Yes...I am old.
That was my first programmable super calculator! I loved it but it was ti-59

It looks like most people here is over 40? Noone (no matter which age) that didn't start using computers until the nineties? And absolutely no millenials here?
Interesting if that were the case.
No, several old-timers here have mentioned using Macs from 1979 & Commodore 64s from 1984. Anyone else start out on a 166mhz pentium?

I'm going to start a new poll soon: During slow periods, what's more entertaining - tumbleweeds rolling by, or R0ach posts?
Since there's been several Marxist Bitcucks and Monerocucks lately who have tried to misrepresent me to pretend they have the moral high ground (I won't even mention Ethcucks because Eth is 99.9% bugmen and cucks), here's to setting the record straight and proving why shitlibs do not have the moral high ground: And in case anyone has down syndrome and doesn't know what that is:

Since you're a sketchy broad attempting to 'empower' yourself by embracing Jewish invented Marxism and feminism (aka components of the protocols designed to try and destablize civilizations and create a power vacuum so external entities can then just walk in and take it over) in attempts to place yourself up on a stool above the opposite sex, I will have you know the male goyim know also: http://dailystormer.name/canada-filthy-teenage-sluts-claim-human-right-to-flop-their-titties-around-at-school/

I'm a bit salty so decided to make some Matzah balls Matzah balls (Yiddish: קניידלעך kneydlekh pl., singular קניידל kneydl; with numerous other transliterations) or matzo balls are Ashkenazi Jewish soup dumplings made from a mixture of matzah meal, eggs, water, and a fat, such as oil, margarine, or chicken fat. Matzah balls are traditionally served in chicken soup and are a staple food on the Jewish holiday of Passover. The texture of matzah balls may be light or dense, depending on the recipe and the skill of the cook. Enthusiasts classify matzah balls as "floaters" or "sinkers". Ummmm Roach you feeling alright? We're all happy that you finally decided to embrace your heritage but as usual i fail to see how it's relevant to this forum

So...wtf.
Coinbase is stopping all payment services?
And BitPay is shilling for bcash, charging high transaction fees for BTC payments even when the mempool is empty and then not providing a bitcoin address to make a payment.
No more bitcoin payments for Expedia. My hosting service is making impossible to use bitcoin.
Bitcoin use in the US is about to die.

Just like with bitcoin. Fun times. I was 7 years old when I got the first one.

I will have you know that I'm raised Mennonite with very high moral. This is the reason I don't own a cell phone. The town library computer connects to the intranet site EVERY DAY and this is all I need to make us great again. You're town sounds lovely r0ach. You think you could sneak a photo to us sometime? This is how I imagine you, kinda like an Amish keyboard ninja.

My first job was a point on the early n86's when chips were sx or dx (internal maths co processor) Ofc years before I had all the same stuff mentioned here. A spectrum that crashed if you touched the keyboard etc. First game experience was a thing like big mac at an uncles house, it was a text driven game. Did all those gaming sessions turn me brainy? its problem solving. I was trying to keep my kids away from gaming too early, but now I have seen how quick they learnt to solve the puzzles. I am changing my mind. Hand eye coordination, trying things that might work? all good eh?
