Getting Rid of Dell Bloatware. 1827

I wonder if I can outdo you regarding early computers. I had a Commodore VIC 20. - in fact it's in a box somewhere in my basement. It has 5K of RAM!! There is also a small Monitor with a (what else) green screen. I had no disk drive - instead it was a cbuttette Tape Recorder - took many. many minutes to load a program from the tape. I also bought one game while I used this computer. The game was called "Mission Impossible" - based I think on the old televison series. It was a cartridge and had its own memory, there were no graphics or pictures of any kind. It was all text. You'd give it a clue and it would tell you if you were right, wrong, close - never mind, it's too hard to describe ... fun at the time. Didn't take much to impress us when back in those days.

Do you remember Space Invaders? It was a box that plugged into the back of your TV set. You used an attached Joy Stick to shoot down missiles and other objects that came out of the sky. If you hit one of these things, you collected points. Used to paly this for hours - like I said, it didn't take much to amuse us.

P.S. Are you aware of the VIC 20? - trying to remember what VIC stood for - Very Interesting Computer, perhaps; no idea what the 20 meant.
