Vic-20
Vic-20
I can almost say the VIC-20 was my first computer - but it wasn't, I had a TRS-80 Model 1 before that, back in '78 - but when I did buy the VIC-20 a few years later I was thrilled with the thing. The TRS-80 was ok and I learned BASIC with it, but by 1980 I grew tired of it's (to me), limited use. When the VIC-20 came out and with it 'color' and 'sound' and game cartidges it just looked like a whole lot more fun - and it was! So, I fondly remember the TRS-80 Model 1 but the fun began with the VIC-20. My original VIC-20 I long ago gave away - but I replaced it a few years back and with a bunch of new goodies in carts and accessories.
I always enjoy seeing pics of fellow enthusiasts vintage machines, and here's what mine looked like when last I took some pictures of it -
I also bought a few more items after these pictures. I got a 16K cart and some Atari joysticks and several nifty books.
It'd be nice if some of the other members here would post pics of their VIC-20 setups in this thread too
Anybody that's seen any of my posts in here in the past few years knows I usually post pictures being that, as they say, a picture is worth 1K words
- You can visit my picture albums for lots more pics I've put up at one time or another too.
