I miss Jimmy :(

It was the late 80’s, I saw Robotech which used to play after school on a local UHF channel, and also Speed Racer. Probably the first more typical Anime was renting the Super Space Force Macross movie on VHS

C64 Basic, Yggdrasil Linux. I wanted to install Minix, in the pre-Linux times, but it was beyond my abilities

Old enough to have bought a new C64 from Toys R Us

Time Bandits. Because of that move my childhood was plagued with nightmares about little people from out of time invading my room in the middle of the night.

I think I will when they do their first production run, I don’t know what I’ll do with it, I have no free time or desk space, but I think I neeeed it.

My brother had an acoustic coupled 300 baud modem for his C64, but that stuff was off limits to me. My first was a 2400 baud on ISA card, I bought for the family IBM XT Clone when I was maybe 13, I came up with the money with a hustle. I bought an old lionel train set at a garage sale with $20, sold it to a train shop for $100 (they probably screwed me over). It was my first pc component install, I remember setting the dip switches for the IRQ channel.
