I remember when my new top of the line 286 with a CGA (4 colors) monitor arrived!

I remeber when i bought a superfast 2400 bps modem!

I remember when a rich friend bought directly from the US a new and revolutionary 1x CD-ROM!

I remember not being able to explaine what the Turbo button did, (and I still don't).

Edit:
and along with that both a reset and on off buttons I could hit with my knee.

I remember when TRS-80 (Trash 80's) were the stand by which all other PC manufactures measured quality.

(Oh its been a while so if I make mistakes, forgive me.)

10 CLS
20 PRINT "Hello"
30 PRINT "Enter PW"
40 INPUT = A
50 IF A = "Password" Then 60 ELSE 55
55 PRINT "Wrong Dumb ***"
56 GOTO 30
60 PRINT "Wussup"
65 END
