Cruisin Areas At The Jersey Shore

Wie zwei Buchstaben die Welt veränderten.

Der 12. August 1981 ist ein Datum welches die Welt verändern sollte. Vor 25 Jahren stellte IBM auf einer Pressekonferenz den ersten "Personal computer" vor, einen Computer für den persönlichen Gebrauch, kurz PC. Mein erster PC war der Commodore C128. Ich kann mich noch genau erinnern, ich hatte genug Geld aus meiner Arbeit im Döner Imbiss meines Vaters angespart um mir einen C64 zu kaufen, but wanted to wait for the C128, because he had instead of 64 KB memory 128 KB of memory. I do not remember exactly how many knives and forks flush I had the money to get together. But I started to actually save to buy me an Atari 2600 game console, because a primary school friend of the late 70's had such a plastic box at home and I regularly spent my afternoons with him. The elementary school I attended 1977 - 1981. The Atari also disappeared in the early 80s and has just been replaced by the appearance of the PC. The combined money saved was still not enough for the Atari 2600th After 10 years of saving me so I could buy the C128. Unfortunately, time was short after he got the Amiga on the market, so I sold the C128 back to me then to buy the Amiga.



On the Amiga there was games like Bubble Bobble, in whom I have a friend actually managed all 100 levels. But just to play me was not enough at some point. On the Amiga so I programmed my first game with AMOS Basic, a Basic that was designed specifically for the Amiga and game development. This game was an economic simulation in which you inherited from a deceased uncle, an inter-galactic travel company. It started with a space station and 2 scrap-speaking glides. The space vehicle had maintained regular be, as they explode, which of course had a massive drop in bookings to follow. Did you earn enough money so you could afford to buy new new space vehicle and space stations to expand its range of destinations. I must have been so about 15 years old. At 16 I began training, earning far more than the diner of my Father, I could also easily my first PC with a Microsoft operating system now without having to save time. My first PC with a Microsoft operating system was a 486 PC with at that time of insanely fast 66 MHz. That must have been early 90s. I bought this directly after my Amiga time and was fascinated that the graphics performance. The Amiga was always as the ultimative Grafik-PC aber was mir dann plötzlich auf dem 486er geboten wurde war die reinste Farbexplosion in einer Auflösung, wie ich sie zuvor noch nie gesehen hatte. Und heute arbeite ich immer noch hinter einem PC und zu Hause habe ich einen PC und zwei Laptops und ich kann mit Fug und Recht von mir behaupten, dass ich ein PC Junkie bin und das seit fast zwei Jahrzehnten.
