Apple IIe, Apple IIc, Commodore 64, IBM AT are some of the first machines I ever used.
i was looking for a pic of my 1982 high school computer lab where we had trs80′s and business model ii’s and apple ii e ‘s and a commodore!
these pics sure bring me back. i member using a texas instruments and apple II computer at school. people thought it was so cool.
Not how the DEC Rainbow picture (third from the top) is mirrored. The arrow keys are on the wrong side of the keyboard
moi boner
wow these are some really old pics. Nice collection!!!
5 1/4 inch floppies?? Sorry kid, the first floppies were 8 inches, as the very last picture actually shows. (The whole right side of that computer is a floppy disk drive)
Wow, I remember every single one of those computers. Seems like yesterday.

Hey, Will Ferrell had an Apple ][ !
Wow, those are incredible photos! Thanks for sharing.
Not sure what the girl is writing from the “Challenger” screen (3 photos up).
I also like the idea of having an Apple IIE on the bed, but come on…
Lastly, a room full of Commodore Pet computers – ah, life was good back then.
I miss 1988
Phew. Glad I missed those days.
Thanks a lot! We are always glad to welcome someone who loves nostalgia as much as we do!
