Got 'em, thanks!  Unfortunately, I didn't see any lesbian sims as an option LOL  

How do these guys make any money, when everything needed is free?  I grew up in the 80s and remember donating to 128-bit shareware gamers through my lightening fast 56k dial-up, but today is a totally different environment.  Love it.

They do it just for the fun of it

SWEET!  My first was the ubiquitous Radio Shack TRS-80 model II.  I saved up a lot of tips from my paper route to buy that sucker.  I still have some true 5 1/4 "floppies"in a box somewhere in my basement lol.  I wonder if they would still boot up...

And this was the very first, with a tape recorder for storage

PB-100

The PB-100 represents Casio's step towards "real" pocket computers. While its ancestor, the FX-702P, was still called "Programmable Calculator", the PB-100 proudly bears the title "Personal Computer".

However, the PB-100 seems to have been a true low-cost design. Its specifications are clearly inferior to those of its predecessor, the FX-702P, as well as to SHARP's earlier pockets. The limited 12 character display makes BASIC programming and debugging a painstaking endeavor.

In its standard version, it is equipped with 1 KB of RAM which results in only 544 bytes for BASIC, which is really limiting. At least, with the memory module OR-1, it can be upgraded to 1568 bytes of user memory, so it begins to make sense that BASIC memory can be subdivided into 10 independent program areas P0-P9.

Moreover, the keyboard had been reduced to the absolute minimum; at any rate, it provided a QWERTY style layout (the FX-702P had a non-standard alphabetical layout).
On the other hand, the cute little machine is really small and lightweight, a real pocket device.

The main circuits of the PB-100 are basically made up of two chips. Processor logics, ROM, display driver, and keyboard controller are integrated in a single CMOS VLSI chip HD61913, which has an external 4-bit bus. The second main component is a HD61914, which is a 8192-bit static RAM organized as 2048 words by 4 bits.

In 1983, the PB-100 was also released by Tandy Radio Shack as TRS-80 PC-4 and by Olympia as OP-544.

Why not - if you still have the computer 😄

Probably not.  The oldest I still have in the basement is a Packard Bell 286, but haven't plugged it in in decades.  A couple 80 pound CRT monitors which would probably blow up on activation today.  A couple SPARC V9 pizza boxes down there, too.  When I graduated, they sadly got retired - to the basement.  Today I do everything I need to do on my Sony VAIO.  Times have changed in just 20 years.  But I still know how to hack anything analog!  😉  😁  You want to win a radio call-in contest?  I'm your man!

I started with one of those Computers as well  Tandy TRS80 Color Computer. Has 128k of memory and ran on Floppies and a Tape Recorder to upload your work to.   Had it upgraded to 256k and cost $150 for the upgrade.  Very easy to write DOS Programs and chugged away on a Dial Up 28k Modem.. Had an Old Daisy Wheel Printer as well that worked with it.
