The first computer I used for serious programming. Z80 CPU, 32kB ROM and 32kB RAM, 5.25" 320kB floppies, and the year was 1982.

    @thmnmlst Past 50. I started programming when I was 16, so I've seen quite a bit of change.

    @FitzSuperUser The computer you're using today will be considered just as slow when it reaches the same age.

    @fbomb That's a "Luxor ABC800". It was a very local computer and I guess that not a single one was ever used outside Scandinavia.

    Thanks for the kind words, @Letmecode! I consider myself lucky to have experienced the time when micro computer tech was still a bit rough. That way, I could experience the shift from pioneers building small series computers, to the more polished devices we have today.

    I suppose that makes it easier to appreciate, and get inspired by, anything new and rough that shows up on the horizon.
