incidentally, here's the keyboard/computer that turned me into the massive fucking nerd i am today.

 

nice! neighbors would give me old computer stuff from the attic because they knew i liked it. i got one of those that way -- same one, portable II. had some cheesy golf game on it.

 

i should note a lot of this cool stuff mysteriously disappeared from the basement when i went away to college.

yeh the one we had for years had MS golf, a space invaders clone, and BASIC. MUSIC.BAS was my first attempt at making music with a computer, trying to dissect how they made all the shitty beeps play when they did and all. like i said, made me a huuuuge fucking nerd.

i very nearly bought one not too long ago, it was broken and i was contemplating filling it with modern hardware because HOW COOL WOULD THAT BE?

some nice bloke on the sdiy mailing list said he had this yamaha XM/FM synth card fing he didn't want... mailed it to me on his own dime. i think his name was charlie, and the card smelled like cigarettes. it went into the luggable for increased swankitude. that was before i really got into music, though, so i didn't even realize what i could have done with it!
