Emperor Oli Posted April 16, 2004 Posted April 16, 2004 OMG how can people live without computers? I had a DOS one first when I was about six! Quote

Half Penny Jon Posted April 16, 2004 Author Posted April 16, 2004 I can't remember, but my mum told me that I used a computer for the first time when I was three. Apparently, my dad taught me how to type. Quote
Half Penny Jon Posted April 16, 2004 Author Posted April 16, 2004 OMG how can people live without computers? I had a DOS one first when I was about six! The wonders of the computing age! No one could survive without computers. Quote
Chris Perkins Posted April 16, 2004 Posted April 16, 2004 As you know, I'm 25 now and even though there were computers around in the 80's they were few and far between. My first 'PC' was a Sinclair ZX81 which I spent time programming in BASIC everytime I turned it on (I didn't have a cassette recorder to save anything on!). It was a hand me down from my uncle. (The same unlce that started me coin collecting)I then progressed through Spectrums, right up to the 128k +3 which had a disk drive!Then an Atari ST, then a 286....386's, 486, Pentium 1, 2, and now I'm on an AMD1300.

Sylvester Posted April 16, 2004 Posted April 16, 2004 I'll confess i'm a one finger typist.And i remember when i went to junior school they only had about 3 computers in the school, all had those great big foppy 5" disks!!!Ah the memories, also no internet, and in Y6 only one person in our year had a CD-Rom computer.That's ten years ago now, and ten years on most people (myself included), would be lost without one.

Half Penny Jon Posted April 16, 2004 Author Posted April 16, 2004 I wonder what sort of computers we will have in the future. Quote
Half Penny Jon Posted April 16, 2004 Author Posted April 16, 2004 Well we cannot call them liarsAgreed, but they do sell rubbishThat is totally pointless, why would anyone want to buy that and at that price!? I am ashamed at some of the stuff that is being offered to collectors these days. Quote
Chris Perkins Posted April 16, 2004 Posted April 16, 2004 No serious collectors would buy that, they are basically just for tourists or for people to buy as gifts for collectors. If you got those as a gift, what could you say...'Sorry Nan, they're complete poo, can you take them back?' Quote

Emperor Oli Posted April 16, 2004 Posted April 16, 2004 'Sorry Nan, they're complete poo, can you take them back?'No, one must humour the elderley. Something more subtle like "I'm scared of Pirates" may do the trick! Quote
william Posted April 16, 2004 Posted April 16, 2004 No, one must humour the elderley. Something more subtle like "I'm scared of Pirates" may do the trick! How about this... "I watched the film but I didn't like it" Quote
Emperor Oli Posted April 16, 2004 Posted April 16, 2004 "My yacht was boarded by marauding Pirates and I've been traumatised ever since"? Quote
Geoff T Posted April 17, 2004 Posted April 17, 2004 It must of made at least over £100,000 in my opinion. There was some bumph from Coincraft in the post when I got back from a week away this evening, and that claimed that the sovereign alone from the Edward VIII proof set recently went for £100,000. Quote
Half Penny Jon Posted April 18, 2004 Author Posted April 18, 2004 I know that a proof two pounds was sold in 2002 for £66,700. Quote
william Posted April 18, 2004 Posted April 18, 2004 I know that a proof two pounds was sold in 2002 for £66,700. That much?! Quote
Half Penny Jon Posted April 18, 2004 Author Posted April 18, 2004 They are in high demand you know! Quote
Half Penny Jon Posted April 18, 2004 Author Posted April 18, 2004 If it came up for sale today, it would make much more than that. Quote
Sylvester Posted April 18, 2004 Posted April 18, 2004 if all else fails you'll just have to settle for one of these...http://www.omnicoin.com/coin_view.aspx?id=889341 Quote
