    I think there were quite few companies who followed this procedure without giving a thought to what they would actually do with the tapes if the building burnt down!
    You use the word "were" i would suggest there are many still operating that way now.

        My first computer was a Microbee, coz dad wanted me to have the same computers that I was using at school.
        I dont remember the exact specs, but I think it had 64k RAM and a single 5.25 disk drive. I had the orange screen, which was something different from the standard green blinky cursor, but not as easy on the eyes either.

              I dont remember what the first computer was. Was a piece of crud though. Probably a 286 or something along those lines. The first computer I remember was when I was about 8 or 9 and it was a Pentium 120. Had a huge 16mb memory 1gb hd and a 1mb videocard.

                We had a Colecovision games console (when everyone else had Ataris) that upgraded to an ADAM computer hooked up to the TV.

                We thought it was great when the computer was added because we could play games off the tape drive. The graphics on the tape games were heaps better than the cartridges.

                Aah I remember waiting around 2-3 mins for the game to load, playing for another minute or two and then waiting 2-3 mins for the next level to load. Best was Buck Rogers 21st Century.

                I remember Mum upgrading the memory to 50K. Cant remember what it had at first.

                I think Mum finally threw it out last year.
