Hmm my scribbles seem extra sloppy today. Anyways, reading this made me remember, I said I’d learn to use the correct corresponding fingers when I type, but until now I don’t use either little finger and I use whatever finger for any key. The typing classes didn’t take haha, but anyway I don’t type that slow, good enough. So let’s move on :P
1982: COMMODORE 64. It stored less than a thumb-drive does today and had just 64KB of RAM, but the first C64 made personal computing possible through an accessible price and friendly, easy-to-use features. The Guinness Book of World Records says the C64 is the best selling single computer model of all time with sales of about 30 million units between 1982 and 1993. Commodore blew it, though, and bigger companies like IBM got into the act. Dell, Apple and other PC manufacturers have since dominated the market. Commodore tanked in the early 1990s.
Doesn’t look too far from our current keyboards :) I wonder what those keys on the right side are for? Well the first computer I ever held was already pretty close to what we have now, well not really but that was 1997.
Haha it’s pretty fat though. 64KB of RAM? Wow you can’t do anything with that anymore. It’s interesting to know that it’s the best selling single computer model of all time. I guess people were just so excited about this new idea, and it’s like that till now anyways when some new revolutionary technology comes out.
