That's cool; thanks for posting. Brings back memories. We had several Model 2 (gray) and 3 (white) in our school (mid 80's), but only a few had floppy drives.

We had several Model 2 (gray) and 3 (white) in our school (mid 80's), but only a few had floppy drives. The ones that didn't were connected to the instructors machine (had had dual drives; oooohh) connected via that network controller (box with big knob). It hooked to the cassette port of the client machine so a program could be dumped to multiple machine simultaneously, or the knob could be switched to receive from a particular client machine.
Used to play Telengard, and use the hex editor to insert foul words into certain programs.
Computing back then just seemed so much more exciting; Tandy, Commodore, Atari, Apple, original PC. It's ubiquitous and drab now, or maybe it's my middle agedness.
- mgkimsal 10y agoI feel the 'drab' aspect of what you're saying, although I also see that we focus more on what we can do, vs 'how' it might get done (different versions of software for Commodore, Atari, PC, Apple, IBM, etc).
