Death and old calculators/computers...

Yesterday evening, for some reasons, I was thinking about death and how I started to know about the computing world... I thought "Tomorrow, I'll see if I can find pictures of those things I've been using since I was 13 year old".

1. Apple II
   Learned basic. Hangman must have been the first "useful' program I wrote.
2. Commodore machines (PET and CBM): I wrote a ping-pong game in 6502.
3. TI-33 and TI-57: used at high school.
4. Sharp PC-1211: high school and cheating at the University entrance exam. Mathematics and science were the perfect domains to put my Basic and assembly knowledge at good use. If you see what I mean...
5. Sharp PC-1500A and the Sharp PC-1600 (4 lines of text!!!)
6. IBM PC-XT
7. ...

I'm surprised to find that many sites relating to old calculator and computers.

Bonne journée / Buen día / Have a nice day.

  Old computers/platforms never die, they just move onto the internet, and get emulation software.

  Nostalgia for the good old days, when we were squatting computers at the Computer Land Shop rue des Clarisses, eh? Feel that way too, sometimes.

  Indeed David, indeed. Without this chain, I'm not sure I would be here today. Best of luck! À bientôt.
