Hello from the UK!

Hi guys,

I'm a University student in the UK studying photography. I frequent some lesser known local forums but the attitudes and 'level' of discussions are somewhat jilted.

See y'around the forums!

Welcome to TFP, iamG!

My first home computer was an Apple //e, (unless you consider the TI 99/4A a computer). I upgraded in order to play Zork from Infocom.

I betcha Daniel_ remembers Zork!

The correct typography is Apple ][+ and Apple //e
< /dork-mode >

Red beat me to dork mode. My first machine was a TRS-80 (with the membrane keypad), but after that I had a //e.

I had a ZX81 (used the same Z80 chip as the TRS-80).

Duly noted. Corrected.



Also: TI-99/4A is the proper nomenclature on that little piece of trivia:

Glad to see so many Apple fans here! Although I'm just a fan of machines that work, regardless of the badge =D I suppose I just love the look of the old-school Apple logo!

Thanks for pointing out the photography forum dlish! I'll be sure to check it out.

Again, many thanks for the welcome!
