My first PC was a 386, later a 486 SX and later a 486 DX



My first one was a second hand Léanord , as this one, with only one 5"1/4 floppy and an amazing 20 Mo hard drive... :nod:




At this time, the CAD software was released on 5"1/4 360ko floppies, using that was called "overlays" (.ovl files) and, if you didn't have any hard drive on your computer, you had to remove the floppy and put another one, depending the command you were using... Glorious days... :nod:

And when we think that lot of calculations for the space conquest, as we can see in a scene of the movie Apollo XIII, were performed with this...

I have to say that the HC-91 is a romanian copy of the Sinclair ZX Spectrum.
And people say communism is bad :sarcy:

HC comes from Home Computer, of course :D

Speaking about oldies goldies, here's a Calma CAD/CAM system, it was the first system that i used in professional context, in a company of precision sheet metal. On this system, we used FORTRAN programming language. At the time, such a system was really the state of the art... :nod:




And it was not a problem to have cold beer, it was enough to store it in the tape drives air-conditioned room... :sozzled: :whistle:



Also, here , an history of Calma...
