Gatt Posted August 10, 2007 Posted August 10, 2007 Been cleaning out all our store rooms over the hols when my tech came across this little GEM of a machine..
Jake Posted August 10, 2007 Posted August 10, 2007 Ahhh I remember when I had my ST....manny MANY nights spent playing the utterly sublime Dungeon Master on it
Gatt Posted August 10, 2007 Author Posted August 10, 2007 Not sure what to do with it! Do I bin it or keep it? :?
Gatt Posted August 10, 2007 Author Posted August 10, 2007 Lol! That's certainly where it belongs We have also now just found an old 386 PC!! Apparantly (sp) our Music Dept has been hording these antiques!!
DarrenM Posted August 10, 2007 Posted August 10, 2007 If you have a schools agreement MS will want £30 a year for that!
Gatt Posted August 10, 2007 Author Posted August 10, 2007 lol, We are toying with swapping the Head's PC for the Atari and see how long it takes for him to notice
edie209 Posted August 10, 2007 Posted August 10, 2007 I found an cira 1990 Toshiba laptop a while ago while doing a clearout of a storeroom, its all original complete with case manuals the loot I don't rekon it was ever used. I booted it and it has that old red dos screen if any of you are old enough to remember that.
crc-ict Posted August 10, 2007 Posted August 10, 2007 I've still got one of those at home! As far as I know, it still works. That was the first computer I ever used properly - had an old tape based Atari 800 for games before that, but the ST was my first experience of word processors. 1 ST Word - what crap that was really!
Pottsey Posted August 10, 2007 Posted August 10, 2007 Ooo its an STE much better then the other modules. Might be worth a bit on ebay.
maniac Posted August 10, 2007 Posted August 10, 2007 At my previous school I found an old Tandy laptop computer, It still worked, couldn't work out how to use it thou as it had it's own operating system on it. There was also an old IBM 386 laptop, and several old RM laptops all looked as if they're never been used properly. Seemed a shame to throw them out, but what more can you do with them. Mike.
CyberNerd Posted August 10, 2007 Posted August 10, 2007 Somewhere I still have a toshiba 386 sx 25 laptop. I used it for network diagnostic and email until about 3 yrs ago - not bad for something with a 100MB HDD and a cut-down slackware. now the school is binning 4-5yr old laptops because the ms/sims cartel requires it.
john Posted August 11, 2007 Posted August 11, 2007 I say leave the Atari out and see how many of the kids actually know what it is, I did this with an Acorn computer and the number that were Sir is this the next version of Windows after Vista, that was scary I know for the time Acorns were good but I do have to say I prefer Vista over RISC OS
sqdge Posted August 11, 2007 Posted August 11, 2007 You've made me want to see if my old Apple Mac 512K still works. There were some quite amazing games available for that.
contink Posted August 11, 2007 Posted August 11, 2007 I say leave the Atari out and see how many of the kids actually know what it is, I did this with an Acorn computer and the number that were Sir is this the next version of Windows after Vista, that was scary I know for the time Acorns were good but I do have to say I prefer Vista over RISC OS There's part of me thinking this would be a perfect April 1st
Guest Posted August 11, 2007 Posted August 11, 2007 Think I will stick to my Amiga thanks That was a war on par with PC vs MAC
PeterW Posted August 11, 2007 Posted August 11, 2007 That was a war on par with PC vs MAC Indeed it was! So keep your old Atari & long live the evergreen Amiga!, (currently running as WinUAE on Windows or Monkey Island/Flight of the amazon queen/Beneath a steal sky running under ScummVM on my N95 )
webman Posted August 11, 2007 Posted August 11, 2007 I remember boot up time on the Amiga was very quick!
