Back In My Day...

[kerbiloid]

Back in my days a computer could have a joystick and a kempston joystick.
Kempston joystick - it's like a joystick, but kempston.

Also a key on the keyboard had up to 7 functions with their own signs.
Like this.

Reminds me of Mah Jongg :-)

But that's a Russian speciality ? I have never seen such a keyboard before ...

Yes. One additional function per key more.

That was back in my more previous days. But the life begins when a computer appears.

Western European speciality, flexible phone numbers. Shorter in rural, longer in denser populated areas. Our first phone number had three digits after the area code. I think it was 261 ...

Edit: don't mind, those short numbers don't exist any more. Nowhere :-)

Our home phone number had 4 digits, 150k city.

OK, seriously this time.

I'm now 55... Back in my day:

Vietnam was still raging.

New cars cost a couple thousand... tops.

Star Trek (the original series) had just premiered.... and TV had only 4 channels

Telephones had long, curly cords.

The only one in the entire city with a computer was the nearby IBM factory... and good luck getting anywhere near it.

And most important... we just landed on the moon!

Seriously, when the company I worked for moved from drafting tables with parallel bars to CAD, we were the pioneers in our industry. IBM set us up with 3 AIX stations (UNIX) networked together. They shared a common 70Mb hard drive. (yes you read that correctly - 70 megabytes). We were told that was all we would ever need. We believed them. We quickly learned each of us had a 20 Mb drive on our private station. The stations came with multiple volume manuals that ran the length of a 6ft table top. I'm the only one that ever read them, so guess who got to troubleshoot the system? Crazy as it sounds, our setup gave us about a few year lead on the competition.

Back in my day, we had a CRT TV and monitor, we used VCR's and CD's, and the original WII was a thing.

Yeah, not great at this thing. Might be cause i'm so new.
