HDDs from my old PC, which I still need to get some external caddies for. Or a NAS device. I’ve not decided yet.

Me back in 1984 with my Commodore Vic 20
desktop computer

Bild von Extra Ketchup
This was the computer, my first computer, that forever changed my life and set me on the path I’m on today. I think I was in 7th grade in this photo. After the VIC-20 followed the C=64, then my favorite, the C=128. When I went into the Navy I had to sell off my computers, but after my training I got an Amiga 500. However, I still have fond memories of those early days of sitting down with a Commodore magazine and typing in a program for hours to play a game or do something cool. There was something magical about those days, so I was thrilled when I found this old photo of those great days!

    What about a drobo? We just got one in at work to play with and it’s really nice.

    They look pretty good but the price doesn’t – £329 (Amazon) is a bit much after getting the iMac, so for now I’m sticking with the £15 USB caddy idea.

    Plus, for that much money I’d want ethernet as standard, but that’s even more. :(


    Seen on your photo stream. (?)

    You missed the sexy cooling grills at the bottom. :P

  4. slashcrisis am 26.01.2012

    Wow, my parents have a *very* similar photograph of me, slightly younger, minus the helmet.

  6. Digger/ATL am 26.01.2012

    man, that’s fab! need to find similar one with me + C64

    Hi Extra Ketchup, I love this picture.
    I was just like this 15 years ago, change the computer and the hat… it’s me ! ;-)

  8. dxbarnes am 26.01.2012

    Ahhh, how i miss the good old days. Where’ your atari though.

  9. Extra Ketchup am 26.01.2012

    The Atari is in the living room hooked up to the color TV :-)

  10. terren in Virginia am 26.01.2012

    great shot – i wish i could find a pic of me and my tandy cc2 that used to be in our basement complete w/ tape drive and thermal printer!

  11. Er_MiGuZ_the italian geek. am 27.01.2012

    gooooood old times !!! :-D !

  12. Darcy Baston am 27.01.2012

    Awesome! I got a Vic20 around that time too. I had memorized so many peeks and pokes, I felt like a…well, ok, it was just saying the truth: I’m a geek. :)

    My parents got an 8086 PC after I had sold the Vic, and I was on that until 1993 when I finally got an Amiga 1200. :) Such good times!

    Now, I just emulate.

  13. kunte kinte am 27.01.2012

    Thanks for sharing such awesome memories! I too started on a Vic-20 and remember typing in programs from Compute! magazine and the forever "Press Play On Tape" message. Next came the 64, 1541 disk drive with it’s rattle, and 1084 monitor. Last was the Amiga 1000 with it’s designer signatures on the inside cover and killer graphics and stereo sound. Ahhh… those were the days. (-:

  14. Darcy Baston am 27.01.2012

    LOAD "*",8,1 ;)

    I was compelled to start the Your Geekiest Photos group. Perhaps you could compound your embarrassment/pride by joining?

  16. sonicdeviant am 27.01.2012

    Man, I’m digging that chemistry set! Awesome…had one just like it.

  17. Jeff Carlson am 27.01.2012

    Nothing like trying to find the exact spot on the cassette to load your program…

  18. bioluminiscencia am 27.01.2012

    this picture is amazing. everything is in its right place

  19. Dragonhide am 27.01.2012

    this rocks. geek on bro.

  20. originalguamaniac am 27.01.2012

    No one mentioned the chemistry set to the left! You can’t get those any more, they’re deemed "unsafe".

  21. Extra Ketchup am 27.01.2012

    It’s amazing we survived all the "unsafe" stuff back then :-)

  22. chandlerpoling am 27.01.2012

    Hi, I’m an admin for a group called Life is Dynamite, and we’d love to have this added to the group!

    I had the exact same chemistry set. I didn’t do anything with it though.

  23. sleepjunky am 27.01.2012

    This is great!

    Wonderful, Wonderful picture. I still have all of my original Commodore equipment… (Vic-20′s,64′s,Amigas, Lt. Kernal HD, etc.) I also have all my original floppies that as of about 5 years ago were all still readable. When I fired the old 64 BBS setup back up it was just like it was when I shut it off for good. Do the initials FBR, ATC, ESI, FLT mean anything to any of you? ;)

  26. turpenteen. am 27.01.2012

    mmm, lovely.

  27. andersdenkend am 27.01.2012

    Hahaha. Lovely!

  28. Grayfamilia am 27.01.2012

    10 ? "Awesome ";
    20 goto 10
    run

  29. mebesaturday am 27.01.2012

    wow…. I had a Vic-20 also, I sure dont miss the tape drive. It took a half hour to load a program that most of the time wouldnt work. Thanks for sharing

  30. jcenzano am 27.01.2012

    that pic is just like an icon for a whole era of computers. It has "everithing" in it. BTW, i like your hat…

  31. dannyjumpertz am 27.01.2012

    looks like you really had your shit together. everything is so well organised! i love the sticky tape fastening the leads to the desk.

  32. slashcrisis am 27.01.2012

    I just recognized you in this video trailer of the demonstration "Freiheit Statt Angst/"Freedom not fear" that takes place in Berlin this summer. (with 10.000 people last year)

  33. Extra Ketchup am 27.01.2012

    Wow! Since my ability to speak German is pretty much non-existent, can you give me an idea of what the film is about?

  34. slashcrisis am 27.01.2012

    This is the English version of the website about the demonstration: http://www.vorratsdatenspeicherung.de/content/view/304/153/lang,en/

    The video is a trailer of the demonstration.

  35. B.S. Wise am 27.01.2012

    Funny, I had that same chemistry set!

    Hi, I’m an admin for a group called . TV . room ., and we’d love to have this added to the group!

  36. seorsa am 27.01.2012

    Sweet.

  37. Texas.713 am 27.01.2012

    That was my dream when I was a kid

  38. Anachrocat am 27.01.2012

    The memories! Not only did I have the Vic 20, but I recognize the chemistry set on the left! I had a very similar one! Thank you for posting this pic; it reminds me of some very happy times. =)

  39. Kosmik Klaus am 27.01.2012

    I remember the good old days! The VIC-20 was also my first computer!

  40. Thomas S Cook am 27.01.2012

    forgot to mention, after spending 2hrs typing in every line, the game didnt work….arrrrrrrrrrrrrggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!

    LOL

    I had a spectrum 48k, spectrum+, a c64 and an atari st500FM

    Those were the days

  41. killermarmots am 27.01.2012

    Woah! I haven’t seen those chemistry sets lately. It’s a wonder we didn’t poison ourselves or blow our &$^# heads off! I remember mixing a bunch of stuff together, and then it started to bubble up and spill all over the bright red shag carpet! ha ha. Great times!

  42. Jacquelyn K am 27.01.2012

    I love this image – I’m going to use it in a presentation at a conference as part of a "technology timeline" which seems to be in compliance with your create commons choices but wanted to let you know in case you didn’t want commercial use.

  43. Patrick Hoesly am 27.01.2012

    Great photo. It reminds me of my days with my Vic 20. I thought that machine was smoken back then. About 2 years passed and I upgraded to a C-128 which I still have in my garage.

    Thanks for sharing and bringing back my youth. :)

  44. .sanden. am 27.01.2012

    holy wow. this is SO awesome!!

  45. Lefty Limbo am 27.01.2012

    RUN

  46. Amiller67 am 27.01.2012

    The Vic20 was my first computer . Remember the "Poke" command? LOL!

  47. King Power Cinema am 27.01.2012

    NERD!!!!

    j/k Love that classic setup! You know what I think makes this photo awesome? The handle on the TV set.

  48. Lefty Limbo am 27.01.2012

    LoL Grayfamilia had the same comment as I did hahhahaa…long live the old school =D

  49. circuitbeta am 27.01.2012

    The day I bought my Vic 20 was the day I became an indoorsman! Had the chemistry set too, but found some experiments were best done outside :D
