My Next Computer Upgrade...

The RCA Spectra 70 .



It's the same computers the FBI now uses, according to one of the comments posted at the news site Caption This.



PS. I could go for this set-up, but I think it's probably out of my pricerange.

I remember programming on an old Wang using dual 7.25 semi-floppies.

I think I did my masters thesis on a 7.25 semi-floppy, using a DOS word processor, in the hot computer lab at UGA....but who knows. It was so long ago. All I remember are the yellow letters.....back during that time Deux had that hip braided pony tail.....

Thanks for that...now I really feel old. When I got my "Computers" merit badge in Boy Scouts, they were still using punch cards on some of the bigger machines. The exciting development of tape reels was being phased in...
