The more video game, tech speak, DND and RPG, Code languages, I was on a C64 and BBS back in the day, ability to do more stuff on a computer… than me … the better…
Send the geeks my way.. for we rule.
I really do love Geeks

+Amanda Blain do you like geeks?
dusts off shoulders I'm about to finish my Computer Science degree, so, you know.
Let's play LORD
LOAD "*",8,1
yeah BBS!
I wish it was cool growing up when I used to get the crap beat out of me. It sure didn't rule then.
Been coding since I was 13, Apple IIe. Geeks rule.
+1 for c64 and bbs!
+Amanda Blain hey! I resemble that remark! 😉
I agree with @shara !!
Wow! I had no idea Amanda! I've had computers since I was 5, predating my favorite C64 with a "Spectrum 16". Heck, my parents got me to WALK using old calculators that had the green vacuum tube displays. I STILL love that color hah! 🙂
My first computer was the 8 bit Timex console, with an 8 bit extension
I loved my C64 so much, and I worked all summer to pay for a $300 5 1/4 floppy drive for it. It was so worth it. I had a 300 baud modem and I paid $75 for lifetime access to the best local BBS, which turned out to be for the lifetime of the BBS instead of my lifetime.
pentium II is the best I can say. thing was mega fast comparatively when we first got it, though.
My C64 still works. I run an emulator on my Mac when I have a bit of nostalgia because my immediate gratification ass is not going to accept waiting 5 minutes for a program to load.
w00t for geeks
What about nerds and dweebs?
Amen!
I wish there were more geek girls
This may be my fav post ever! So many new geeky people to circle… ?
<3
+Amanda Blain do you have a iphone or a ipad2?
+Josh Saunders, there are! They're just in denial. It's only a matter of time until they accept their inner geek/nerd though, so don't worry. 🙂
no she is an android girl
Well, let’s say this Twinkie represents the normal amount of psychokinetic energy in the New York area. Based on this morning’s reading, it would be a Twinkie thirty-five feet long, weighing approximately six hundred pounds.
Ghostbusters quote (other than the cats and dogs speech)… instantly circled. 🙂
HAHA 🙂
Thanks for the walk down memory lane! I also had a C64 back in the mid '80s and ran a BBS with a 1 meg drive – I though that awesome back then.
This whole comment thread is making me want to re-listen to "Ready Player One"..even though I only finished it a few days ago. Nostalgia!
My first computer was an Atari with a 6502 processor. I think a cassette deck was my first mass storage device but soon graduated to a floppy disk drive. Dialed up to a local Atari club BBS. But, there were so few lines that time was limited to 30 minutes. Later subscribed to Compuserve. Anyone remember that?
Who remembers the Koala Pads? We had Apple IIes in my grade school, but I never met anyone who owned one.
I ran a BBS, you know right? 😛 Two lines, international callers and over 1 Gig of software, documents and files. Yes, I just said 1 full Gig!! lol…really just a bunch of CD drives and two hard drives. Don't forget this was in the early 90s.
Actually…what if I said this was recently…I don't think it would be as cool lol.
+Amanda Blain I was just talking to another G+er about c128d & BBS days!!
+Jacky So Not in Australia…
we have a strong football, beer and being an idiot culture…
Considering moving to Antarctica.. cause the geek ratio is higher.. me and a snowman with glasses on..
I remember Compuserve and Prodigy
I tried Prodigy. Seems like it only worked on IBM PCs and I didn't have ready access to one at that time. But it was sort of a ground breaking service.
I still have my dot matrix print outs from Prodigy. I am thinking about donating them to the Smithsonian one of these days.
+Tzafrir Rehan LORD was the best, remember Seth and Violet?
+Sang Lam very vaguely. I was 10 at the time 🙂
lol I ran LORD on my BBS. I also ran that space trader game (can't think of what it was called?)…a mafia game that my friend developed and a bunch of other really bad ANSI/ASCII graphic games. Ah the memories! Nothing matches downloading the newest 0-day pack and checking out that fresh .NFO file lol
SRE(solar realms elite) BRE(Baron Realms Elite) and Tradewars(2020)
PS: L.O.R.D code, Jenny 🙂
These conversations always, always remind me of 64k RAM! 😀
Nerd baiting?
load "this kicks ass",8,1
run
Brings back some good memories of BBSes and AE PRO Lines lol
+Artemis Entreri +Joe Brownstein +Sang Lam +Tzafrir Rehan ahhhh Lord… Seth able at the Inn… 😀 Typing Jennie.. but dont call her UGLY… – Get kicked from the game and lose 2 hp… Ahhh games you could never win but played forever anyway… Zynga what took you so long.
I love geeks too!
I was once killed by someone at 23:55, then again at 00:03. Then had to wait until the following day to be able to play again.
+Amanda Blain Personally I preferred Violet to get my HP up, but Seth able wasn't too bad either. 😉
I wish there were more geekettes around where I live.
