No, 47. Believe it or not, the first PCs came out when I was a young whippersnapper.

Oh OK cause the article you sent mentioned ELIZA being developed between 1964-67 so I had to ask.

IBM 486 was my first PC as a kid. Throw in those floppys and game on DOS!

I have 6.22 and Win3.11 running in a VM for fun.

Mine was an Apple ][+.

(And yes, that's how you write it properly. I'm a pedant.)

When I was a kid my folks bought the TI 99/4A for some ridiculous reason. It's interesting to look back at the weird hardware that never made it, like the cartridges that thing used instead of 5¼" floppies that were also out at the time. Maybe it reminded them of inserting 8 tracks.

I think the 99/4A also had a cassette tape drive you could buy. I don't think they ever made a floppy drive for it though.

The TI99 had an (optional) external expansion box that allowed it to use floppy disks.

Never saw the floppy external, but at some point we ended up with a peripheral that read data off cassettes.

I would have it no other way. I am the same. 😂

Fuck yea man, Dr Sbaitso was the one for me. I loved that shit. It still fucks with people when I bust that out on Dosbox.
