My family's first machine was a TRS-80 Model II with an 8" floppy and a Daisy Wheel printer. The first computer that I owned was the C64. I loved to program on that thing.

First laptop- an old AST 386 MS-DOS laptop that used a trackball. Bonus for 10 year old me- someone left full versions of a ton of games on the 300MB HDD: Doom, Duke Nukem 2, Wolf3D, etc.
Favorite laptop is an IBM Thinkpad 600x. Got it right before I started college and used it for about 10 years despite it being out classes even when I got it. Dual booted Win98SE and XP with pretty nice DOS compatibility when the retrogaming itch got to me. Accidentally damaged it in a fit of rage (was mad at family member about something and slammed the table that the laptop was on- RAM retention clip kept popping after that which would blue screen me) but still love that thing. Retired it when I moved across the country for residency
MacBook Pro - total overkill, battery hasn’t ever been that good, screen quality & sound are amazing tho. Should probably just replace it with the 15” air

BERKELEY – California cross country will toe the line at its first meet of the 2023 season on Friday afternoon at the USF Invitational in San Francisco. The Golden Bears will cross the Bay Bridge for the 30th-annual invitational hosted by the Dons at Lindley Meadow in Golden Gate Park. The women's 6,000-meter race will kick things off at 2 p.m. PST with the men's 8,000-meter competition set to follow at 3:30 p.m.
The USF Invitational is a staple of the Cal cross country slate, with the Bears' history competing at the meet spanning over 20 years. Cal's men have claimed seven meet titles and five individual victories over the years, while the women have tallied six team victories and five individual first-place finishes. The most recent team titles were collected in 2019 when then-first year head coach Bobby Lockhart's Bears saw both the men's and women's squads sweep the team titles.
BERKELEY – The California men's soccer team returns to the friendly confines of Edwards Stadium to play its home opener against FDU on Friday and then host Dartmouth on Monday.
Admission to both games is free.
The Golden Bears (0-0-2) opened the 2023 season on the road, posting a pair of 1-1 ties against nationally ranked opponents UNC Greensboro and Wake Forest (see below). UNCG had been ranked 10th in the United Soccer Coaches Preseason Poll, while Wake was ranked 18th in the preseason. In the United Soccer Coaches week one rankings, UNCG is out of the top 25 and Wake – in part due to teams like UNCG dropping out of the upper part of the poll – is ranked 16th. Cal received 16 votes in this week's poll – tying UCLA – and sits just two spots outside the top 25. The Bears are right behind UNCG, which received 17 votes and is the first team outside the poll.
BERKELEY – California volleyball (3-0, 0-0 Pac-12) is set to make its regular-season home debut following a three-game win streak to open the year and claim the Army Invitational tournament title. The Golden Bears dropped just one set last week and clinched their best start since 2019, after which senior Tara DeSa earned all-tournament MVP; junior Annalea Maeder and freshman Maggie Li also earned spots on the all-tournament team. Now, Cal will welcome Portland State (2-1, 0-0 Big Sky) on Friday at 7 p.m. PT and Southern Utah (2-1, 0-0 WAC) on Saturday at 2 p.m. to Bear Territory in hopes of extending that streak and building further momentum as the Bears barrel toward Pac-12 play.
The Bears are 6-3 all time against the Vikings. Last year, Portland State finished 18-13 and reached the second round of the National Invitational Volleyball Championship. They are proving to be a threat behind the service line, ranking 13th in the nation with 2.70 aces per set and 18th with 27 total aces.
BERKELEY -- The California football team heads to the Lone Star State for its 2023 season-opener on Saturday against North Texas at 1 p.m. PT. The Golden Bears and Mean Green are set to meet for the second time in history.
BERKELEY – The California field hockey team wraps up a season-long four-game homestand Friday when No. 5 Penn State comes to Underhill Field. Friday's contest against the Nittany Lions will be the third consecutive game against teams in the National Field Hockey Coaches Association (NFHCA) Top-20 poll.
Friday's contest is scheduled to begin at 4 p.m. PT and will be streamed live on the Cal Live Stream. Greg Silver and Dr. Ty Douglas will call the action live. Fans can also follow the action live via live stats which can be accessed at Statbroadcast.com.
A double steal initiated by Elly de la Cruz broke-up the pitching duel between Logan Webb and Hunter Greene in the 5th inning of the series finale against the Cincinnati Reds.
Patrick Bailey’s throw to second wasn’t intended to nab de la Cruz at secondbase but play along with his opponent’s shenanigans, and hopefully give Thairo Estrada a chance to nab the runner breaking for home and take the edge off the Reds’ scoring threat.
If you so happened to have caught the recap of Tuesday’s game, it’s a lot of the same on Wednesday. Some driving forces changed around a bit, but once again the Dodgers thumped the Diamondbacks, securing a 7-0 victory and a series sweep.
The Dodgers manhandled the D-Backs once again, scoring six runs before the end of four innings, with eight out of their nine hitters reaching base safely at least once.
Trump's PACs are running out of money due to litigation. They've barely entered discovery and the election is more than a year away. Trump is in serious trouble on several fronts.

Isn't that a function of *whose* money is on the line?

Nebraskans are not volleyball fans. The state is not filled with powerhouse junior programs that are feeding into the elite colleges. Nebraskans are first Husker fans and right now NU volleyball is smoking hot.
It has become apparent to me that Cal and Stanf*rd's likelihood of gaining an ACC invitation is inversely proportional to the amount of desperation for said invite that either school may have.
My cynical sense is that we're being strung along for some perverse reason that will be revealed later. I have only contempt for the process.
UNC and NC State flipped more than a week ago. This would've been done Monday night except for the campus shooting. A lot of the "press" out this week on the topic is clickbait BS. Allegedly.

Just thought I'd point that out.
first machine?
I don't remember any of the specs, but I remember spending plenty of time playing Doom on it
Dooooom
My family's first machine was a TRS-80 Model II with an 8" floppy and a Daisy Wheel printer. The first computer that I owned was the C64. I loved to program on that thing. And the games - Infocom's games (eg, Zork series, Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy) and Broderbund's Lode Runner were undefeated.
I had a TRS-80 Model 3 with the tape drive. And an Epson FX-80 printer.
My friend had a C64 (after his Vic-20) and it had great games.
Oh I take it back, the printer was along with our IBM-PC.
8088 my Dad brought home one day. Crazy how far things have come.
Me too. I liked to play “Willy the Worm II” https://dosgames.com/game/willy-the-worm-2-the-big-trip-home/ and gave my mom a hard time about the esoteric formatting of the word processing program. Now I play snake.io and write documents with vim and LaTeX…
Nerd-alert.
After our Trash-80, my dad got one of the original IBM-PCs, with the first Teac half-height floppies. I bought a 20 MB half height hard drive at the West Coast Computer Faire and installed it, along with a 384 KB multifunctional card.
Atari. Pong. 😉. Dad’s big splurge.
A Mac "II-L" - maybe it was a "II-C" - can't remember, but I was working at a computer program company first job out of college.
8088 with standard 640kb RAM. Really enjoyed playing "Digger" in CGA with PC speaker. Learned 30 years later that the song in the game was "Popcorn"
Yes. All the great CGA games. Burgertime, Dig Dug. I had so many of them. King Quest, and the text adventures.
Timex Sinclair 1000, which doesn’t date me at all, followed by a TI 99
I also had a first gen Macintosh (acquired second hand) for which you loaded one floppy with word processing software to write, and then ejected / replaced with another to save your work.
TI-99/4A, I believe. Had some kind of cassette recorder that could store data outside of the usual cartridges.
I remember these as well. With the cartridge next to the keyboard.
C64. Loved to program in Basic
Started using Mac for work more than 10 years ago, and now, I can't go back. I'm in the Apple ecosystem >:{
I'm the same way. Offered to write iOS apps and they gave me a MBP. Fell in love. I even run Windows under Parallels.
It's the only Apple item I have.

I started an unpaid internship under a professional chef yesterday. So, literally DBD Cooking Academy.
Oh nice. I've thought about wanting to pivot and doing something else. I've always wondered if it's not a good idea to try to be a chef late in life.
My friend's brother retired from being a teacher and is going through a culinary program at the college right near his house.
I've recently been experimenting with using aji amarillo sauce as a base for marinades. The results so far have been excellent
Great veg salad last night. Sauce was slightly different but tasty.

I'm pretty happy with my chromebook. I've been increasingly disappointed with each new Windows OS, so I'm glad to be out of that ecosystem.
My favorite was a Sony VAIO multimedia laptop I got for $3600 in 2000. Dotcom era folks. Fry's electronics in Palo Alto.
Fry's...RIP
I remember those. With the battery pack that rotated into a laptop stand. Those were pretty good.
My very first one was Dell, and I've probably owned a few more. I've also had several Asus and one Sony Vaio. I still have some of the old ones with files in it that I never transferred out.
First laptop- an old AST 386 MS-DOS laptop that used a trackball. Bonus for 10 year old me- someone left full versions of a ton of games on the 300MB HDD: Doom, Duke Nukem 2, Wolf3D, etc.
Favorite laptop is an IBM Thinkpad 600x. Got it right before I started college and used it for about 10 years despite it being out classes even when I got it. Dual booted Win98SE and XP with pretty nice DOS compatibility when the retrogaming itch got to me. Accidentally damaged it in a fit of rage (was mad at family member about something and slammed the table that the laptop was on- RAM retention clip kept popping after that which would blue screen me) but still love that thing. Retired it when I moved across the country for residency
MacBook Pro - total overkill, battery hasn’t ever been that good, screen quality & sound are amazing tho. Should probably just replace it with the 15” air
The Apple M-series laptops are a revelation. Such a relief after the crappy Touch Bar / butterfly keyboard / USB-C only era.
