Got into computers before there was such a thing as IBM Compatible. Used Commodore Vic 20 with dataset drive (cassette), then a Commodore 64 with 5-1/4' floppy and dot matrix printer. Packard Bell 246 computer with dial up modem. Became a full time computer technician in New Port News, Virginia where I built systems for civilian customers, The US Army, The US Air Force, and Nasa. Prices were something else back then, Ram was $42.00 per megabite!!! A flat bed color scanner was $3,000.00, etc. Yet for some reason my ideal gaming systems has always remained about the same price!!! My current system is a
